A Hearty Welcome to my website. 

 

Welcome to the website of author Simon J Smith (Raven). Herein, you’ll find all of my work in the fiction section worlds of The Human Chronicles and Warhammer 40,000. You'll also find my lyrics in the Lyric Section Enjoy your visit!

 

 

 

Well Christmas looms ever closer and the dark nights have returned.
And the shops have began stocking Christmas junk. With a few things planned for the season holiday it should be a good one though very different to what we'd have liked.

Just got my hands on the new PC game Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and you'd think you buy a game put the disc in the pc and way hey play. Not so. Still three days later and I'm downloading the shite to play the game from the Steam account I had to open. I hate that. Call me old school but I like to buy and play.

I've also been reading Graham McNeil's new book Courage and Honour and I have to say I'm zooming through it its extremely addictive. I have to say the guy knows how to write good fiction. Once I've finished that I'll be reading Dan Abnett's new novel Blood Pact. And he's another damned fine author.

 

I've finished my latest story Deathwatch: Children Of The Blood

 

I've started to work on the second Deathwatch story in the series with new characters to join the fray and the return of Captain Lykran. So far I have subtitled the story Deathwatch: Secundas Primus. Though the title is subject to change. Most of the story will focus on the world of Primus and the imminent war with the Tau. 

As of recently I've got tickets for up coming shows Brad Paisley. Gotta Love Country. I'll also be heading out to see Marillion's new tour Less Is More, which they have concentrated on re-recording older songs in an acoustic format. Should be a good gig after all they know how to entertain. And lastly I'll be heading out to see Within Temptation live yaye.

All the fiction within the the website is unedited and to answer questions about Exordium the fourth story in the Crimson Fist Saga its not on the site due to the fact the publishers wouldn't like that since its the first full noval written . However all my short story fiction is available though in its format unedited but there for the reading.

Anyhow feel free to have a good read.

 

If you click on the images below it will take you to the short stories I've written.

Dedicated to my Late Wife

 

She Loves The Rain


The grey skies above
Are tears from the angels
She loved the rain
In many ways
Always hiding the tears
She loved the rain

The stars above us
Will shine all that brighter
For her smile will find birds singing in spring
One kiss from her still red lips
Is a Kiss from an Angel
Autumn leaves will fall as she glows

One touch is like the joy
Of belonging into heaven
Her heart was like the beat of a deer
Fleeing the hunter through the woods
And yet she managed to find a smile

She loved the rain
In a beautiful dawn
Like a falling star from the heavens above
She would grace a smile
And tell me
She loves the rain.

Oooh it’s just an endless night
Falling water is rain
From above she would smile
Send me a kiss and grace her love through
Her beating heart
Beautiful to the touch

Running wild in fields painted gold
Its not hard to believe
That’s she had a beauty
To equal the gods above
Running wild while the rain would fall
Across her skin with a passion from the heart

She loved the rain
In a beautiful dawn
Like a falling star from the heavens above
She would grace a smile
And tell me
She loves the rain.

I only wish I could have surrendered my soul
For the darkness was cold
She could find comfort in her pain
Waiting for another storm
So she could shed her tears
Through the rain hiding her pain

She would live and she would laugh
She had eternity
And she chose to love
And let the daemons take their claim
Finding some comfort with her pain
Would be to look at the rain gracing a smile

She loved the rain
In a beautiful dawn
Like a falling star from the heavens above
She would grace a smile
And tell me
She loves the rain.

Tears in rain
Just tears falling
Falling hiding within this rain
Tears come crushing through grey skies
For she would wake smile and laugh
Laugh all the while she felt the pain

Once she dreamed of paradise
Spent a day planning her time there
Choosing to live her life
And steer her way through the rain
All the while Darkness was waiting
Waiting for her

She loved the rain
In a beautiful dawn
Like a falling star from the heavens above
She would grace a smile
And tell me
She loves the rain.

She became tired
Dreamed no more
So far way she fell left the rain to fall
Yet with a smile she understood
She would not walk alone
Tired she’d speak of angels by her side

She loved the rain
In a beautiful dawn
Like a falling star from the heavens above
She would grace a smile
And tell me
She loves the rain.
