Poe

Poe: Nevermore is an Edgar Allan Poe-inspired paranormal thriller in which a young woman must race against time and death to save those she loves while struggling with depression, a new relationship complicated by her past, and an abusive former foster-father. Nevermore, the first in a six-book series, is told by Elenora Allison Poe, or "Poe" for short. Poe is twenty-four years old, drowning in debt and depression, and very alone, having been orphaned at the age of two and raised in an unloving household. Suffering from insomnia and PTSD from a traumatic experience seven years before, Poe has become cold and unwilling to connect with anyone. When she meets homicide detective Caleb Frost, Poe's life changes dramatically. Frost sees the tragic heroine's brokenness in perfect clarity and sympathizes with her, but just when Poe begins to let him in she discovers a horrible truth: she is the sole direct descendant of Edgar Allan Poe, inheriting not only the last name of one of the world's most famous poets, but also a terrible family curse that takes the form of the master of the macabre's most haunting tales. If Poe cannot recognize the curse unfolding in time, it will destroy the lives of all those close to her and annihilate her sanity. Chanticleer Book Reviews and Media has called Nevermore "the type of psychological horror that locking the doors and windows and reading with the lights on will not keep out" and acclaims the combination of tension and complex characters in the novel, including powerful antagonists. "There is a Gothic, smouldering shroud across this book, as if Anne Rice or Poppy Z Brite have infected the writing," says Self-Publishing Review. The second installment in the "Poe" series, titled Rest in Peace, was published in June of 2014 with four more books to follow.

One month after the conclusion of the first novel in the 'Poe' series, Poe and Frost are still recovering from the tragedies they survived in 'Nevermore', both emotionally and physically. As they struggle to rebuild their relationship from ashes, Poe discovers that she is being stalked by her most wicked nightmare, Lex, and is swept into a maelstrom of instability and paranoia. Without Frost's protection, Poe quickly loses her already shaky grip on her sanity as with each passing moment the inevitable reunion with her tormentor draws nearer. Meanwhile, the Poe family curse continues to haunt the tragic heroine, dragging her into a labyrinth of darkness from which there may be no escape…

The much-anticipated third installment in the "Poe" Gothic thriller series, "Death's Mark" finds Poe, Frost and Trina healing and seeking a new normal to found their lives on. But for Poe, there may never be a "new normal." The only other direct descendant of Edgar Allan Poe, a twenty-year-old girl named Tori, is seeking answers about her lineage, answers Poe only wishes she had. Meanwhile, Poe's former foster-father has grown progressively more volatile and his actions are crushing his submissive wife to the point of threatening her very existence. Poe can hardly protect herself and her new patchwork family from Jonathon Aaron, much less find a way to rescue her helpless foster-mom from the clutches of the curse, and must choose between the people she loves most. Concluding with an epic final stand-off between Poe and the man who destroyed her childhood, "Death's Mark" depicts the tragic heroine's first hope for a future and her battle to hold onto that hope.
