The North Lake Saga

The North Lake Saga[]

The North Lake Saga is a series of stories that takes place at North Lake . My family owns a camp on North Lake, in Upstate New York that inspired the stories. One day our neighbor came by with a book on the history of the lake. I was skimming through it one night when a few captions caught my attention, "North Lake's Islands, Pheonix Island.", "Mountains, Ice Cave Mountain." and "Does North Lake Harbor a cousin of Nessie?"

These jump-started my brain and gave me the ideas for a few of the stories I plan on writing.
