A Murder in the Village and Other Mystical Tales of the Ouachita Mountains – Coming Soon

November 12, 2025

Later this month, I will be releasing a compilation of short stories entitled A Murder in the Village and Other Mystical Tales of the Ouachita Mountains. The short story form is one I am comfortable with and return to time and again. My very first book, Breaking Through the Pale, was a short story collection, followed by Dragonflies, The Left Palm, Appointment with the Unknown, Travels into the Breach, and White Harbor Road.

I’ve played with the structure of stories, their length, narration style, really so many aspects. I’ve always found short stories to be an excellent platform for experimentation. This new collection is a purposeful and eclectic arrangement of tales. Some are shorter, some more serious, some comedic, some dialogue-driven, and some more mood-oriented.

Two are still posted in the Halloween Month 2025 selection. Just click on the link in the main menu on the Home Page if you’re interested in a taste of this new book. I’ll also be posting a YouTube teaser below, which I hope you’ll check out.

Peace to All

A Murder in the Village and Other Mystical Tales of the Ouachita Mountains

At the foothills of the Ouachita Mountains, into their ancient heart, and even perhaps into nearby unexplored dimensions, slip into a series of supernatural short stories.

A clash of shapeshifters on sacred grounds, a compromised witch desperately fleeing a witch hunter, and a ghost in search of his murderer are only a few of the tales that dot this paranormal landscape.

Take a mystical diversion that could very well land you in a realm, at the least unexpected and at the most horrifying. But what is clear is that no one, ever, will emerge as they were before.

Coming Soon!

Halloween Month and Other News

October 2, 2025

In need of a spooky distraction?

Halloween Month is getting ready to kick off at EvelynKlebert.com. Each week of this month I will be posting a paranormal short story to set the mood for this special time of the year. I do hope you will check back often to see what’s new.

I also am deep in edits for a new collection of short stories entitled A Murder in the Village and Other Mystical Tales of the Ouachita Mountains. I plan to post at least one story from this collection during Halloween Month just to give you a little taste of this book. It’s one I’ve been working on for some time and am so very excited to see it come to fruition.

So, in all sincerity, I’d like to take this opportunity to wish everyone peace. And if you can, take a little time to enjoy this unique time of year. 🙂

The Alchemist’s Bride – Now Available

September 21, 2025

I am very excited to announce that The Alchemist’s Bride has now been officially released and is available at Cornerstone Book Publishers, Amazon, and soon most other online booksellers. And for those of you who are subscribed, it is also available at Kindle Unlimited. Having lived in New Orleans for a good part of my life and spending much time steeped in its history, this is a very special and unique book for me. I do hope you check it out!

The Alchemist’s Bride

Enter the mystical world of 1883 historic New Orleans.

From a young age, Emmeline Lescale has been raised as an outsider by her aunt’s family on the lavish estate of Belle Coeur in Vacherie, Louisiana. Ostensibly an orphan, she is treated as an unpaid servant. But in her twenty-fifth year, with her eyes on a dismal future, something radically changes.

Her father, a renowned physician who has ignored her existence most of her life, suddenly insists that she come to live with him. And New Orleans in the 1880s seems like no place for a proper young lady, especially when her father is embroiled with a mysterious young doctor whose interests venture deeply and dangerously into the world of the supernatural.

Jack Fallon, the protege of Emmeline’s father, lives a life filled with secrets. His home, deep in the French Quarter on Bienville Street, is much more than meets the eye. And before too long, he draws Emma into the crosshairs of an existence that questions the nature of reality itself.

The Story of Enid – Just Released!

July 1, 2025

I am very excited to announce that The Story of Enid: Vol. 2 of The Clandestine Exploits of a Werewolf has just been released! It is now available at Cornerstone Book Publishers, Amazon, and Kindle and will soon be available at most other online retail booksellers. And to celebrate its release it is currently 20% Off the retail price at Cornerstone Book Publishers.

It has been a long journey to bring this book to publication. When I first wrote its prequel, The Broken Vow, the seeds for The Story of Enid were already in my mind. I was able to craft its first incarnation on the Kindle Vella platform but am very happy it is now out in a book format.

I do hope you take some time to check out the adventures of my werewolf Ethan Garraint and his lady love.

Peace to All,

Evelyn

The Story of Enid: Vol. 2 of The Clandestine Adventures of a Werewolf

What happens when your one true love reincarnates, and you just happen to be a werewolf?

Ethan Garraint is an old soul. He has been alive for hundreds of years, battling countless challenges and foes along the way — not the least of which was living through the genocide of the Cathar people at Montsegur, a society that wholly embraced him despite his lycanthropic nature. But in Volume 2 of The Clandestine Exploits of a Werewolf, he faces a dilemma that brings his past and present full circle, merging them both.

In The Story of Enid, the sequel to The Broken Vow

Long ago, before he was Ethan Garraint, before the Cathars, before he became a werewolf, he was a man living in a land where enchantment ruled. He was a Knight known as Geraint who served a King. And it was then that he met the one woman who would own his heart.

“There was someone for you once.”

“Yes, a long time ago.”

“Someone very special to you that, I think, perhaps you still mourn.”

“She was my wife.”

“And she left you.”

“Not of her free will, but yes, most do.”

When one realizes that a long-lost soulmate has been reincarnated, it poses some complications. When you have been a werewolf for nearly a millennium, the complications explode exponentially. Ethan Garraint understands that he should stay far away from Erin Holt, but she is in his city, New Orleans, and possibly in danger. And the truth is, he doesn’t want to stay away. He only wants to remind her of the lifetime they lived long ago, when they were more than lovers, when they became legend.

On The Horizon

June 26, 2025

Well, 2025 has already been an eventful year in all sorts of ways. But in my little corner of the world, it’s been busy as well and is already half over.

In terms of writing, I have already announced that The Story of Enid: Vol. 2 of the Clandestine Exploits of a Werewolf is getting ready to be released at the beginning of July. It is the sequel to The Broken Vow. And for those out there who would like to catch up on the series, The Broken Vow is currently on sale for $2.99 at Kindle and most other online eBook retail sellers. So, do pick up a copy and catch up on the adventures of Ethan Garraint, Etienne, and Geraint, all aliases for my favorite werewolf.

In addition, I am finishing up work on a short story collection that I hope to release sometime during the Halloween season. It’s called Mystical Diversions: Supernatural Tales of the Ouachita Mountains. One of the tales in this collection actually follows a character that is introduced in The Story of Enid.

I am also revising a book titled The Alchemist’s Bride, a paranormal romance set in turn-of-the-century New Orleans.

Beyond these works, several sequels are percolating, including a brand new New Orleans Paranormal Mystery book and a sequel to The Tethering: A Portent of Crows.

So, the balance of 2025 is shaping up to be a busy time. I do sincerely wish everyone peace and all the best.

Take Care,

Evelyn

The Broken Vow: Vol. I The Clandestine Exploits of a Werewolf

In this first installment of “The Clandestine Exploits of a Werewolf,” Ethan Garraint is on a vendetta that begins in the heart of the Pyrenees with the fall of Montségur and leads him to the streets of New Orleans nearly five hundred years later. But the person he chases isn’t really a man anymore and Ethan has been a werewolf for almost a millennium. With the aid of a gifted seer, he is on a blood hunt that will culminate in a journey that crosses the line between heaven and earth and ends somewhere in between.

The Prince Adept

June 28, 2021

I am pleased and so happy to announce this new release by an exciting author who just happens to be my son. The Prince Adept is a mesmerizing dark fantasy by Robert Leo Poll that plunges you into a magical but embattled landscape where the only hope for humanity lies in the hands of a desperate alliance of bedraggled and unlikely heroes. Take this epic and unforgettable journey this summer.

2021

Deep within the murky depths of the ancient, ruined city known as Hiri Handi, a lost traveler gathers the last broken dregs of humanity into an alliance. The hope is to finally close the supernatural, primeval seal tied to the very heart of their world — a seal that was selfishly wrenched open long ago, plunging Hiri Handi into a horrific abyss of terror.

A story of monsters, magic, and madness, The Prince Adept is a dark tale centered around the subtle ties that bind all of humanity together.
