Raven’s Peak
by Lincoln Cole
I’ve been writing my entire life, but I only seriously took up the craft in the last year or so. I decided to really focus on telling a good story and learned how to rewrite. I used to hate going over my own work and editing it or making modifications because it was a lot of work, but now it’s become one of my favorite parts of the entire process.
Each successive pass through the novel made me feel better because I was watching the story come together. The character was fixed, his new background intact, and the entire novel felt solid and real. I’d always enjoyed rewriting to make a story better, but this time I completely fell in love with the process and was able to finish the entire novel with it in the same shape as the story I’d imagined months and months earlier.

A quiet little mountain town is hiding a big problem. When the townsfolk of Raven’s Peak start acting crazy, Abigail Dressler is called upon to find out what is happening. She uncovers a demonic threat unlike any she’s ever faced and finds herself in a fight just to stay alive. She rescues Haatim Arison from a terrifying fate and discovers that he has a family legacy in the supernatural that he knows nothing about. Now she’s forced to protect him, which is easy, and also trust him if she wants to save the townsfolk of Raven’s Peak. Trust, however, is considerably more difficult for someone who grew up living on the knife’s edge of danger.
Can they discover the cause of the town’s insanity and put a stop to it before it is too late?
