Recommend this book: Why Olivia Wrote Secrets of Raven’s Hollow: The Power of Unsolved Truths
Every story begins with a question. For me, it was: What if the place you called home was hiding the truth about the person you loved most? That question led me to write Secrets of Raven’s Hollow.
Returning to your hometown can feel like opening a dusty attic—familiar, but unsettling. For Claire Donovan, that attic is Raven’s Hollow, a small town where nothing is quite what it seems.
As a writer, I’ve always been fascinated by buried secrets and the emotional weight they carry. Claire’s journey mirrors what many of us fear: the idea that the people we trust may not be who they appear to be. Through her relentless pursuit of the truth behind her sister’s disappearance and a suspicious death, I wanted to explore what it means to stand up against corruption—even when it hits closest to home.
Secrets of Raven’s Hollow isn’t just a murder mystery. It’s a story about confronting the past, about love and loyalty tested by time, and about one woman’s refusal to let the truth stay buried.
If you’ve ever wondered how far you’d go for justice—or for family—this story might resonate with you more than you think.

Book 2 Available now for Preorder Echoes of the Past in Raven’s Hollow : A Gripping Mystery Thriller of Secrets and Lies
Writing Book 2 of the Claire Raven Series has been an incredible journey—one filled with twists and turns, much like the story itself. When I first introduced Claire in Secrets of Raven’s Hollow, I had no idea how deeply I would come to know her, nor how much her world would grow with each page. This book allowed me to dive even further into her story, exploring the weight of the past, the resilience of the human spirit, and the unbreakable bonds of family, friendship, and loyalty.
One of the most rewarding aspects of writing this book was the chance to return to Raven’s Hollow, a town that feels almost as real to me as any small town I’ve ever known. I’ve always been drawn to atmospheric settings, where the town itself becomes a character, holding its own secrets and shaping the people who live there. The idea of a place where mystery lingers just beneath the surfacehas always fascinated me, and I loved crafting a story where Raven’s Hollow once again proves that its past is never truly buried.
This book also deepened my connection to Claire. In Secrets of Raven’s Hollow, she was determined to uncover the truth about her sister’s disappearance and the death of Oliver, a key figure in town. Now, in Book 2, Claire faces a new mystery—one that forces her to confront her own fears, test the limits of trust, and fight for the life she has built. She is no longer just chasing answers—she’s protecting her future.
If you’ve read my previous books, you’ll know that I love writing stories that blend mystery, suspense, and small-town intrigue. There’s something captivating about peeling back the layers of a community, revealing the hidden truths that lie just beneath the surface. Whether it’s a past crime resurfacing, a town grappling with its own secrets, or a character discovering that nothing is quite as it seems, I strive to create gripping, emotional, and suspenseful stories that keep you turning the pages.
Writing this book challenged me in new ways. Balancing the suspense with character-driven moments, weaving together past and present mysteries, and keeping the tension high while allowing room for emotional depth—it was a process that pushed me as a writer, but one that I enjoyed immensely.
Most of all, this book is about second chances—not just for Claire, but for many of the characters in Raven’s Hollow. It’s about the choices we make, the past we can’t escape, and the hope that, no matter how dark things seem, there’s always a path forward.
I hope you enjoy this next chapter in Claire’s story as much as I enjoyed writing it. Thank you for being part of this journey—whether you’ve been with me from the beginning or are just discovering my books now, I’m so grateful for each and every reader.
Happy reading!
