title: My Lord Raven: Knights of the Royal Household
author:  Jan Scarbrough 
description: <span>Writing</span><b>My Lord Raven</b><span>was a labor of love. It took a long time with many starts, stops, and twists along the way. I fell in love with medieval history and romance in high school with authors Thomas B. Costain and Anya Seton. Later the romance genre made medieval heroines popular. I'm thinking of the Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen Woodiwiss.</span>
