"So, what do you like to read?"

Orion Phillips is pretty new to Raven's Lake, being a transplant from the southern United States---Georgia, to be exact---and he's completely on his own for the first time in his life. He's always lived with his dad, making sure to take care of him as the man is not very good at it. No, Orion's always been there to support his dad ever since his mother died in a car accident when he was eight, including in his father's private investigation business. Which is fine, of course. Orion loves his rough-around-the-edges father and he did genuinely enjoy some aspects of being a licensed PI, but eventually the call to do his own thing won out.

So he started writing and, eventually, he submitted his work to several publishers, with the only one showing interest is a small, indie publisher out of Maine. They offered to publish him and enticed him to move out to Raven's Lake, so here he is.

And he knows nobody.
