The Writer in Ashland (First three chapters)

Located in the center of America, Ashland is a picturesque town that is a sanctuary for people heading to or from the west. While working as a church medic to finally start a life without her controlling brother, seventeen year old Aloria soon learns of an eerie town legend of the young man who lives in a mansion overlooking the church. Despite stories of his dark deeds, terrifying personality changes, and the fact that he may be more demonic than human, Aloria isn’t bothered. As she works Aloria has a constant feeling of being watched and she soon starts receiving letters from the man observing her who she dubs: THE WRITER IN ASHLAND. Over a long string of letters, she realizes she wants to know more about her mysterious friend. Aloria’s world explodes as she comes face to face with THE WRITER IN ASHLAND, Luke Whittington, who is the man everyone has been warning her about in the haunting tales of the house on the mountain. Their love would be easy but when the night falls Luke is possessed by something that nobody, not even Luke, thinks is human. As time goes on, Aloria isn’t so sure the Luke she falls for every day is so different from his nighttime self and she has to decide how far she can go for the worsening Luke, all while trying to balance out her present with her past that keeps following her.
