The fabled Town of Donbridge holds the key to a family’s folklore and 200 year history as told by a grandmother to her grandchildren. The first in the series, The Ring of Lazarus, tells the tale of a young girl found dead outside the fabled town. Grief stricken, her mother with lost hope places a powerful silver ring upon her deceased daughter’s finger knowing the family heirloom has given unnatural long life to every woman bearer in the family. Waiting for a miracle, all hope is faded in silence as the rings power seems to be lost. Heartbroken, the girl’s parents bury their child, but with all tales of Donbridge not everything is as it seems.

RD Vincent is an American author born in the historic village of Goshen, New York, on February 14, 1979. He was raised on a small dairy farm along with his brother and sister and attended Pine Bush Central Schools.

In late 1997, he attended SUNY Potsdam and began his studies as a Music Major. Feeling a bit overwhelmed in the music world, he sought refuge in both the English and Business Econ Departments. By the fall of 1998, he had a rare opportunity to meet New York author and poet Maurice Kenny. Over the next year, Vincent studied with Kenny in his creative writing class. Later that year, inspired by Kenny, he began writing for The Racquette, SUNY Potsdam College's Newspaper with a small cooking column called "Something to Cook About." The columns were published once every two weeks and contained a short story which always had the characters cooking or baking. Vincent included the recipes. It was at this moment that the idea for Donbridge came about while collaborating with his Grandmother and Great Aunt who both had a multitude of stories passed along to them from their elders. This project would take Vincent nearly 15 years to storyboard. RD Vincent's first publication, Donbridge, The Ring of Lazarus, was published July 15th 2015 on Amazon eBooks. This is the first of 9 stories in the Donbridge collection.

I met R.D. Vincent at Indiepalooza where I was speaking in Houston, Texas recently and when he gave me his slim book, I said I would read it. I did indeed and whipping through the pages fast and furious. Nothing I have read recently was quite like this little novella but you will love the suspense and storytelling, it's a winner. I loved it so much I am going to make it a Pulpwood Queen OFFICIAL Book Club Selection in 2016, so that is five diamonds in my Pulpwood Queen TIARA.

R. D Vincent took a risk. He told a folktale and added recipes from the time. This book is a great read for all ages. It kept me turning pages all the way through it. Will be reading the rest of the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully Executed!
Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2016

Every once in a while, I'll come across a book or series that grabs hold and stays with me long after I've finished the story. That's the kind of beautiful magic I discovered in Donbridge. I've read every book in the series so far and am finding it so very hard to wait for the next. These books are full of loving, whimsical characters with old world charm and grace. The plots are unique, and I love how the author set the stories in the 1800's, yet managed to weave a bit of supernatural fun and spookiness within. Lastly, you can feel within the pages how Vincent is sharing part of his family - his history - with the reader, and the grandmother is the perfect vehicle for this. Simply beautiful execution all around!

5.0 out of 5 stars A MUST READ
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2015

I am NOT a reader.... usually, however I flew through this book and I just couldn't put it down. The writing structure is phenomenal and it creates such a powerful visual imaginary that I got emotionally involved and felt almost a part of the text. Also, what an interesting twist in the end! In addition, I thought it very clever to put in the recipes that where used in the story in the back of book, further allowing iteration between the reader and the story. I am so glad book 2 is out! I haven't finished it yet.... but from what I read so far... it is equally or even better than the first book in the Donbridge series!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Start
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2017

This is a really short story but it’s very good. I didn’t know what to expect when I started it and honestly I didn’t even think I was going to enjoy it as much as I did because of the length of it. This is a really good story about an old wives tale or at least that's how I perceived it. It’s a short story about a grandmother talking to her grandsons. That’s all I can give it without spoiling the actual story, but if you want something really quick to read that will keep your attention give this a shot. I’m not one to read short books at all, but this one I enjoyed. Maybe it’s because of how fast paced it was, but overall I really enjoyed this one. According to the author at the end of the book there is another one out or coming out and I’m kind of hoping that the story continues into the second book.

2.0 out of 5 stars Huh?
Reviewed in the United States on December 12, 2016

More of a short story than a book. Story seemed to be dis-jointed. Needed some real editing. One paragraph a child is dying in the winter snow, and, and then the next page the father is out working in the vegetable garden. (Not something you do in the winter in the snow.) The author seemed to want to make this into a story being told by another person, but it just got confusing and was not scary or even very intriguing. The premise was excellent, just poorly executed. If this is book one, don't bother looking for the rest of the series.
