An October's Journey

REVIEWERS CHOICE GOLD AWARD WINNER "An October's Journey: Poe's Final Gift," has been named a 2023-24 Reader Views Literary Award Winner, receiving the REVIEWERS CHOICE GOLD AWARD in the category of General Fiction/Novel. In addition, it has also just been named a FINALIST in the 2023 PARANORMAL BOOK AWARDS division of the Chanticleer International Book Awards Competition for Supernatural Fiction. In this elegant work of speculative historical fiction, a young, nineteenth-century attorney receives a strange birthday gift from his friend, Edgar Allan Poe, who convinces him to defend a woman and her two grown children who have been arrested for practicing witchcraft. The trial is to be held in an old Puritan town that has somehow "fallen out of time," and the verdict of the case will determine the fate of many more than just the three souls on trial. Navigating as a stranger in an even stranger land, he must piece together the truth of the most bizarre case of his career.
