Raymond's goal is to craft gripping stories about the human condition, whether they are set here or another world. He has written award-winning poetry and three explorations in fantasy: Awakening, an epic, released in January, 2014, and Thought Gazer, an adventure and first volume of a prequel trilogy,  released on January 1, 2015, and Foretellers, the second volume of the prequel, due out on March 1, 2016.


Hailed on BookViral.com as "a grand debut... [that] breathes originality into the genre", Awakening has received almost all five star reviews on both Amazon and Goodreads. Reviewers have been generous with praise, offering such comments as, "Mr. Bolton's imagination is truly unique and rich - his characters feel like old friends, his settings are vivid, and the plot is exciting and well-paced. Perhaps my favorite aspect of his writing is that he trusts his reader to follow him into the world he has brought to life, and what a treat it is!" https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1387968540
