	~~=====~~ '''Summer Over Silverslip (Published in 28 CR)''' – Lincoln’s debut novel, modest in sales but quietly influential, earning him a small but devoted literary following. Set in the Silverslip district of Newfaire during the hazy months following the Great No Man’s War, the novel follows James, a disillusioned young veteran hired as a private security escort for Wila, the daughter of a powerful judge. As the city’s golden facades shimmer under a layer of corruption, James is drawn into a whirlwind summer romance—elegant parties, whispered secrets, and moments of fragile tenderness. Wila introduces him to a world of privilege, and for a brief time, James allows himself to believe in the possibility of healing and connection. But when he uncovers the judge’s systemic abuses of power—and learns that Wila has long known and chosen to look away—James chooses to walk away from their relationship, changed but not embittered. Written in clipped, ironic prose tinged with melancholy, the novel blends post-war cynicism with aching beauty, capturing the slow, inevitable loss of innocence amid the steam-lit streets of a city clinging to civility. ~~=====~~		* '''Summer Over Silverslip (Published in 28 CR)''' – Lincoln’s debut novel, modest in sales but quietly influential, earning him a small but devoted literary following.

		⚫	* '''The Day the Veil Was Torn (Published in 35 CR)''' – A harrowing work of speculative horror and science fiction, ''The Day the Veil Was Torn'' unfolds in the contemporary world of 35 CR Newfaire as a dimensional breach begins—first subtly, then with terrifying speed. What begins as a strange atmospheric disturbance during a live radio broadcast spirals into an all-consuming catastrophe, as entities from a vast and ancient plane beyond comprehension begin to emerge into the physical world. Told through a series of fractured narratives—government reports, eyewitness testimonies, missing audio logs, and the confessions of those who heard "the signal"—the novel charts the collapse of a city and the moral unraveling of its people. As the boundaries between dimensions decay, so too does any illusion of control, revealing the horrifying consequences of tampering with forces never meant to be understood, let alone harnessed. Beneath its surface of dread and creeping apocalypse, the novel is a blistering commentary on humanity’s tendency to colonize what it does not comprehend, to treat cosmic horror with clinical ambition, and to wage war against the unknowable in the name of progress. The book ends not with resolution, but with a sudden, breathless silence—as if something just stepped into the room. A brief afterword by Lincoln follows: dry, winking, and filled with anecdotes about misplacing the original manuscript in a coffeehouse. It is a strange relief after the descent, and a final reminder that even in the face of annihilation, he believed humor might be our last and most human defense.

		⚫	* '''Mud and Bones (Published in 36 CR)''' – A stark and unflinching war novel told through the eyes of Pearl, a sharp-tongued, headstrong teenager who volunteers alongside four childhood friends to serve in the Noman Army during the Great No Man’s War. Fueled by conviction and a sense of loyalty larger than themselves, the five are thrust into the mire of trench warfare, enduring the slow, suffocating churn of fear, loss, and boredom. Pearl’s narration is biting, compassionate, and often laced with dark humor—an inner monologue that acts as armor as much as it does confession. As the war drags on and innocence is steadily carved away, the group dwindles—some lost to violence, others to despair—but Pearl endures, not untouched, but unbroken. Through whispered conversations beneath gaslit tents, memories of shared songs, and silent moments watching snow fall over blasted no-man’s-land, Pearl and her remaining friend, Ezra, carry each other through. Where other stories of war end in ruin, ''Mud and Bones'' chooses a different path: Pearl and Ezra return home together, changed but not shattered, their bodies and minds intact not by luck, but by stubborn defiance. The final chapter finds them rebuilding not just a life, but a sense of meaning—on a farmhouse porch, with the sound of laughter, two chairs, and a sunrise. Lincoln’s prose lingers not on what was lost, but on what remains. ''Mud and Bones'' is a testament to the endurance of friendship, the quiet strength of women in war, and the radical belief that even after unimaginable horror, healing is possible.

		⚫	* '''Collected Fictions and Other Mistakes (Unpublished as of 38 CR)''' - ''Collected Fictions and Other Mistakes'' was an unpublished compilation of short stories, fragments, and marginalia, a plain and deliberately spare manuscript assembled from working drafts that showed a writer exploring variations and structure, with pages lightly marked by revision notes and certain passages revisited in multiple forms as he refined his ideas. Its loosely arranged sections that ranged Lincoln’s early tonal experiments to increasingly dreamlike tales of looping timelines, unreliable narrators, and late-career rewrites tucked into the back like exploratory digressions. The manuscript’s most curious feature was the handwritten epigraph scrawled across the printed title of its opening story. A detail that his wife [[Nesta Archeron\|Nesta Acheron]] swore had never appeared in her edited draft. She also described a subtle strangeness within the text: character names echoing across unrelated stories, recurring symbolic elements that seemed to converse across differing stories and a story order that she was certain had changed in the months after Lincoln's kidnapping. Only later did investigators realize that three of the short stories, ''Before It Got Weird'', ''The Places I Dreamed Of'', and ''And Then It Got Stranger'', were not merely fiction but magickal traps Lincoln had woven into the manuscript so investigators would be pulled into the story and aid them in finding him, along with the kidnapped journalist Dotty Welles. In the final moments of the last story, young Billy Stroud, its protagonist, was unintentionally pulled into the real world by investigators Jackson Cunningham and Gertrude Clyde just before the narrative collapsed. To prevent further danger, Jacen Beck threw the original manuscript into his wood stove, leaving behind only charred remains of the book.

	Lincoln ~~published~~ several books in his lifetime, ~~including~~:		Lincoln authored several books in his lifetime, though only three were published:

	* '''Summer Over Silverslip (Published in 28 CR)''' – Lincoln’s debut novel, modest in sales but quietly influential, earning him a small but devoted literary following. Set in the Silverslip district of Newfaire during the hazy months following the Great No Man’s War, the novel follows James, a disillusioned young veteran hired as a private security escort for Wila, the daughter of a powerful judge. As the city’s golden facades shimmer under a layer of corruption, James is drawn into a whirlwind summer romance—elegant parties, whispered secrets, and moments of fragile tenderness. Wila introduces him to a world of privilege, and for a brief time, James allows himself to believe in the possibility of healing and connection. But when he uncovers the judge’s systemic abuses of power—and learns that Wila has long known and chosen to look away—James chooses to walk away from their relationship, changed but not embittered. Written in clipped, ironic prose tinged with melancholy, the novel blends post-war cynicism with aching beauty, capturing the slow, inevitable loss of innocence amid the steam-lit streets of a city clinging to civility.		* '''Summer Over Silverslip (Published in 28 CR)''' – Lincoln’s debut novel, modest in sales but quietly influential, earning him a small but devoted literary following.

	* '''The Day the Veil Was Torn''' – A harrowing work of speculative horror and science fiction, ''The Day the Veil Was Torn'' unfolds in the contemporary world of 35 CR Newfaire as a dimensional breach begins—first subtly, then with terrifying speed. What begins as a strange atmospheric disturbance during a live radio broadcast spirals into an all-consuming catastrophe, as entities from a vast and ancient plane beyond comprehension begin to emerge into the physical world. Told through a series of fractured narratives—government reports, eyewitness testimonies, missing audio logs, and the confessions of those who heard "the signal"—the novel charts the collapse of a city and the moral unraveling of its people. As the boundaries between dimensions decay, so too does any illusion of control, revealing the horrifying consequences of tampering with forces never meant to be understood, let alone harnessed. Beneath its surface of dread and creeping apocalypse, the novel is a blistering commentary on humanity’s tendency to colonize what it does not comprehend, to treat cosmic horror with clinical ambition, and to wage war against the unknowable in the name of progress. The book ends not with resolution, but with a sudden, breathless silence—as if something just stepped into the room. A brief afterword by Lincoln follows: dry, winking, and filled with anecdotes about misplacing the original manuscript in a coffeehouse. It is a strange relief after the descent, and a final reminder that even in the face of annihilation, he believed humor might be our last and most human defense.		* '''The Day the Veil Was Torn (Published in 35 CR)''' – A harrowing work of speculative horror and science fiction, ''The Day the Veil Was Torn'' unfolds in the contemporary world of 35 CR Newfaire as a dimensional breach begins—first subtly, then with terrifying speed.

	* '''Mud and Bones''' – A stark and unflinching war novel told through the eyes of Pearl, a sharp-tongued, headstrong teenager who volunteers alongside four childhood friends to serve in the Noman Army during the Great No Man’s War. Fueled by conviction and a sense of loyalty larger than themselves, the five are thrust into the mire of trench warfare, enduring the slow, suffocating churn of fear, loss, and boredom. Pearl’s narration is biting, compassionate, and often laced with dark humor—an inner monologue that acts as armor as much as it does confession. As the war drags on and innocence is steadily carved away, the group dwindles—some lost to violence, others to despair—but Pearl endures, not untouched, but unbroken. Through whispered conversations beneath gaslit tents, memories of shared songs, and silent moments watching snow fall over blasted no-man’s-land, Pearl and her remaining friend, Ezra, carry each other through. Where other stories of war end in ruin, ''Mud and Bones'' chooses a different path: Pearl and Ezra return home together, changed but not shattered, their bodies and minds intact not by luck, but by stubborn defiance. The final chapter finds them rebuilding not just a life, but a sense of meaning—on a farmhouse porch, with the sound of laughter, two chairs, and a sunrise. Lincoln’s prose lingers not on what was lost, but on what remains. ''Mud and Bones'' is a testament to the endurance of friendship, the quiet strength of women in war, and the radical belief that even after unimaginable horror, healing is possible.		* '''Mud and Bones (Published in 36 CR)''' – A stark and unflinching war novel told through the eyes of Pearl, a sharp-tongued, headstrong teenager who volunteers alongside four childhood friends to serve in the Noman Army during the Great No Man’s War.
