title: Raven
author: Green, Richard T.
description: 'Raven: The Reluctant She-devil' is a devilishly-naughty black romantic comedy with a difference… As she-devils go, Raven isn't really that scary; not during the day. But when night falls something changes; something a bit unnerving. For those around her at least. By day she lives the kind of life that wouldn't raise a pensioner's eyebrows. A PA for one of the directors of a major insurance company, she epitomizes normality. Mega-efficient, super-smart and ice-cool, she doesn't have many friends amongst her female work-colleagues…they're all too jealous of her. She gets plenty of attention from her male colleagues though. Raven is stunningly beautiful. Tall and slim she nevertheless possesses all the curvy bits men find attractive, and her flawless white skin contrasts perfectly with long silky black hair that has just enough natural wave to shimmer in the light and look like she's dyed in deep-blue highlights. Raven is a terrible flirt; teases her male colleagues - and occasionally the female ones too - until they crumple inside with sheer frustration. Drives them to near-insanity, and walks a very thin tightrope between safety and danger. She doesn't have a boyfriend; she can't go that far. She'd eat him for breakfast. So she can't take that risk. She likes her job and the buzz it gives her…but a work-colleague suddenly going missing after a night out with her wouldn't look good on the CV. Raven has a second job. She doesn't particularly want it, but it seems she has no choice. Like eating and sleeping, it's just something she and her two best friends have to do. In some ways her night-time job is similar to her day-time one - except her employer is a little higher up the universal hall of fame. When darkness falls, Raven is a personal assistant to Satan. By day she may be ice-cool - but by night she's one hundred percent red-hot. Raven doesn't know it - not yet anyway - but she's simply a character in a book. A book the author is really enjoying writing; he is fascinated by the persona he has created. He knows all good storytellers need to understand their main characters; realises that for his readers to enjoy the book he must build a relationship between himself and Raven. But in a few short hours he is to find out just how real such a relationship can be; and as his world turns inside-out, discover the incredible power of the written word and how it can change everything he thought was unchangeable. And Raven will come to know the true meaning of the phrase 'get a life'…
