The Dream
Screams of outrage
and pain crashed against the howling wind. Breaking glass followed while a
crimson ooze covered the wet ground.
A lingering scent
carried on the breeze was swallowed by the night. The orange glow on the
horizon turned an ominous dark and the sky rumbled with agitation.
Each time the
dream came to her, it was as vivid and profound as before. Through the fog of
this dream appeared a hazy universal image. The small, obscure wooden marker at
the top of the hill marked a long-forgotten resting place.
Greye had dozed
off on the park bench and the haunting dream had come upon her again, as it had
so many times in years past. She was never able to understand the nightmare,
and it unsettled her still, as an adult. Set in a faraway place and time, there
was always something more just beneath the surface… hinting at an unknown that
should somehow be familiar.
Greye couldn’t
have known the role this recurring dream would play in her future.

Greye looked down
to begin writing again when a searing pain shot straight up her leg. She froze
in shocked confusion. She grabbed her knee as her eyes blurred with tears. Then
she noticed the bright green Frisbee that had smashed into her right kneecap.
The kids were now
otherwise occupied, their voices softer and further in the distance. The man
was approaching with the Lab in stride. Greye could sense he had stopped in
front of her. She heard an anxious and strong, deep voice.
“Oh God, I’m so
sorry. Are you OK? I’m so sorry.”
Clutching her
throbbing knee with one hand, and wiping her eyes with the other, Greye looked
up into his cobalt blues, which were still cringed looking at where his errant
disk had landed. Managing to conceal an unexpected sigh, she replied, “I’m
fine, I think. Just wasn’t expecting it.”
She watched as he
drew a hand through his dark, short hair. It was a nervous habit she figured.
She also noticed the tousled, shiny waves that threatened to end in curls if
his hair got much longer.
***
Connor caught an
intriguing scent on the wind he thought he remembered, but couldn’t quite
place. “My apologies really. I didn’t expect it to catch that much air.”
As if feeling
guilty by association, the golden Lab came and rested its big head on her
uninjured leg. When Connor saw the smile she gave his best friend, a warm
feeling began to blossom in his chest.
Scratching the
dog’s ears, she offered, “It’s OK, I’ll live. May never walk right, but I’ll
live.”
The casual smirk
she quickly added had Connor feeling the stricken pallor of his face blush with
heat.
“Well, it has to
be said, there has been considerable advancement in knee replacement these
days. Though I do hope it doesn’t come to that.”
Greye let a soft
laugh escape and she countered with, “I don’t think it will. I’m tough. I’ll
forego the surgery, and wear this limp with pride.” She gently massaged her red
and puffy knee.
This time Connor
had to laugh. He really liked this pretty woman with the quick and easy
comebacks. She appeared to be of mixed race, most likely black and white, with
her flawless honey colored complexion. It was those expressive green eyes he
found he could get easily lost in. He strongly resisted the urge to touch her
soft chin length brown hair, which he noticed, was lit with auburn highlights
as it fell in loose waves around a diamond shaped face. He noticed a scar than
ran just under her jaw line. Her slender body looked to be in pretty good shape
as well.
With a cocky grin,
and a small bow he said, “A battle wound then I most humbly take credit for.
Then he added, “I couldn’t help but notice your perfume. It’s really … nice.”
“Thank you. It’s
just hand lotion; honey and—”
“Lavender,” he
finished. That’s her scent.
She replied, “It’s
honey and lavender, yes.”
With the inspiration coming from a
true family story, and having found the uninhibited time to write, a story of
unequaled love and desperate circumstances was born.
When not writing, Raegyn is
perfectly content curled up with a good book, TV binge watching, or on a fun
travel adventure. Also, anyone who knows her knows she loves to dance (a lot!)
wherever and whenever possible!
How would she describe Lavender
Fields?
It’s a paranormal romance that
centers around reincarnation; so it’s basically two romances! The story is
funny, sexy, dark, and raw while being twisted, mysterious, and still somehow
romantic.
Raegyn believes readers can connect
with her lovers, Connor and Greye, on a few levels. It has the elements of the
classic love story: boy meets and gets girl, but it also tackles some real and
uncomfortable issues, while introducing characters that anyone can relate to,
root for, or despise altogether! Then, throw some odd clues with a helping of
paranormal in, and you have a unique take on a timeless aspect of romance. The
author hopes so anyway!
For a love even time can’t deny.
After Raegyn completes the Eternal
Journey Series, she hopes to begin work on another series, which readers can
actually catch a glimpse of first within the pages of Lavender Fields.
The beautiful Pacific Northwest
state of Washington has been home since 2001. She has one grown son whom she
adores. Raegyn is currently working on the second book in the series, Cypress
Groves, and as a playwright, she will be investigating options to get her full
length stage play produced in the area.
