Gather your cleverest crew and join us at The Raven on the first and third Wednesday of each month for The Initials Game. A fun-filled trivia night for friends, family, and anyone who loves a little friendly rivalry.

Michelle Khonsari’s The Ravencrest Murders draws readers into a quiet town where nothing stays buried for long—where a missed produce pickup is the most exciting call into a two-person sheriff’s office, the town secretary handles dispatch, and nearly everyone has some connection to the victims. As Scarlett Moyer follows a trail of bodies tied to the abandoned Ravencrest Asylum, each lead opens into something more complicated than it first appears. Haunted by her own past, Scarlett struggles to separate her instincts as a detective from a history of trusting the wrong people, adding a personal edge to an already tightening investigation.

Dust off your favorite board game, card game, or party game and bring it along, or join a table and discover a new favorite. Whether you're fiercely competitive, just in it for the laughs, or simply looking for a cozy evening with good company, there's a seat waiting for you.

Come sip, snack, play, and stay awhile. After all, every great story begins with gathering around a table.

🪶 Bring your own games or jump into one someone else has brought, we can't wait to play with you!

Author Bio:

“S.K. Bickel, better known as Savannah, is an author based out of Nashville, Tennessee. Her debut novel, DOUSED KINDLING, is the first in an interconnected contemporary romance series that focuses on real life relationships and the importance of holding them dear, no matter the cost. She currently resides in Nashville with her husband, dog, and soon-to-be baby boy. Her family, as well as the community that surrounds and supports her, are the very reasons she created this world. The characters and stories are reflections of the themes that she believes make people, people.Love. Passion. Heartbreak. Trust. Forgiveness. It’s why she writes. Formerly a songwriter in the country music scene, Savannah’s writing incorporates the poetic flow of music as well as the emphasis on storytelling that remains the foundation of the country music genre. 

Outside of writing the scenes her growing reader base loves so much, Savannah spends her time running her favorite greenway, cooking with her husband, and visiting family in the South Carolina town that inspired Sinker Avenue and the chaos that ensued. Her heart beats for those she loves, and that sincerity comes through on paper in the lives of the characters she writes. She is thrilled to release her debut novel into the world. And she hopes her words leap off the page and mean as much to someone else as they have to her.”
