New Edition of an Old Friend

July 2, 2024

I’m very excited to announce that a newly revised edition of A Ghost of a Chance has been released and is now available for the first time in hardback. Ghost was first released in 2005, and being the first novel I completed, it holds a very special place in my heart. I hope you check out the otherworldly adventures of Jack Brennan and Hallie Barkly this summer.

A Ghost of a Chance.

You never know what’s coming next.

Jack Brennan, an ambitious high-powered attorney, dies. But that’s not the end, rather only the beginning. He finds himself constrained to an inexplicable afterlife as an earth-bound spirit trapped in an old Virginia farmhouse. His only companion is a very much living, reclusive writer of campy vampire novels. The maddening problem is that Hallie does not know he is there, nor that he is somewhat reluctantly falling in love with her.

Hallie Barkly is recovering from a painful and disillusioning divorce. Out of the ashes of her former life, she has managed to somehow forge a career and exorcise her demons by writing under the pseudonym of Sebastian Winters. Slowly, she is awakening to the fact that she is not alone. Their lives intersect, and two unconventional lovers are brought together under insurmountable circumstances. Together they must battle an unseen force hell-bent on possessing Hallie’s life and bridge death itself to make possible what cannot be — to find a chance.

A Quiet Moment – Now Available in Hardback

June 13, 2024

I have recently released a revised edition of A Quiet Moment which is now available in hardback at Cornerstone Book Publishers and Amazon. A Quiet Moment is one of my earlier books which holds a special place in my heart. It was great fun for me returning to the world of Aimee Marston and Jacob Wyss and experiencing their romantic adventure once again during the revising process. I hope you will take a bit of time to check out their story. Peace to all.

— Evelyn

A Quiet Moment

Jacob Wyss is caught in a rut, in fact on the verge of being engulfed by it. After an excruciating and disillusioning divorce, his life as an artist in a sleepy college town at the foot of the Appalachian mountains has become quiet, routine, and maddening in its predictability. One wintry day, his deep restlessness drives him out in precarious conditions to a largely empty bookstore nearly devoid of another living soul, nearly.

Aimee Marston isn’t like everyone else. On the surface, she lives a sedate life working as a feature writer for a small local newspaper in addition to several other editorial jobs to help make ends meet. But just beneath, her existence is largely not her own. She is a sensitive, an empathic psychic, guided by her calling to use her gifts to help others. Unfortunately, as a result, her secretiveness has made her defensive and protective of herself, preventing her from having much of a life of her own.

A psychic call for help sends Aimee out on a freezing January morning, where her destiny and Jacob’s collide, sending both their lives spiraling onto an unexpected and often disturbing track. Two lonely souls connect, not by accident but by design. Theirs is the intersection of two spiritual paths, two lovers who must struggle to overcome the phantoms of a past life as well as the challenges of their inner demons to carve out an extraordinary future together.

Sanctuary of Echoes- New Edition in Hardback

May 5, 2024

My publisher, Cornerstone Book Publishers, has recently released a flurry of hardback editions of books. One book of mine in this bunch which is very close to my heart is Sanctuary of Echoes. In addition to being released as a hardback, I have also just released a brand new updated edition of this novel. Currently, I am also working on the audiobook edition of this book which should be released sometime this summer. I do hope you’ll drop by Cornerstone Book Publishers and check out their wide selection of books.

Ghosts unacknowledged do not sleep.

Corey Knight has resigned herself to a quiet, reclusive life. She plans to live out the rest of her days in her childhood home on the fringes of New Orleans’ French Quarter. But then, the unexpected specter of her deceased father plunges her into a mad quest for a missing supernatural weapon. It is the very same weapon unearthed by her and a small group of psychically gifted friends long ago. And unfortunately, her only ally is a lost love whom she betrayed.

Iain Shaw returns to New Orleans after years of intensive esoteric studies and training overseas. Coming back to the city haunts him, a city he abandoned a decade before while fleeing a devastating past. Here again, he is forced to confront his demons in the visage of the woman he once adored—one that, even to his surprise, he is now determined to get back at any cost.

Follow Iain Shaw and Corey Knight in a searing tale of discovery and redemption that begins with a mystical journal and culminates deep in the heart of one of New Orleans’ most historic cities of the dead. To prevail, they must journey through a profound and intricate past as they confront the echoes of a buried truth — a truth that once tore them irreparably apart.

Dumaine Street Audio Snippet

March 3, 2024

Here is an audio snippet from my latest Audiobook, Dumaine Street. I hope you enjoy. 🙂 Just press on the arrow.

Voices in her head, catastrophic emotions, hallucinations — Rebecca Wells is more than convinced that she is losing her mind. And as a last-ditch effort, she contacts a self-professed counselor who seems convinced he can help.

Gabriel Sutton has abandoned the world of medicine to navigate a realm filled with psychic phenomena. Diagnosing Becca with extreme empathic abilities, he struggles to help her stabilize her gifts while trying desperately not to fall in love with his patient.

From the realm of vulnerability into a crusade to use their profound gifts to rescue others from peril on the other side of death, these two follow an astonishing and unpredictable path into each other’s hearts. (First Published on Kindle Vella)

2024 – What’s Percolating?

January 8, 2024

While 2024 will no doubt be a ground-breaking year in many ways, on a much smaller scale in my arena, I have quite a few projects on the horizon.

In 2023, I saw the publication of two new novels and audiobooks, The Lady in the Blue Dress and Dumaine Street, which originated as Kindle Vella stories. In 2024, I anticipate the release of two more works: The Story of Enid, a sequel to The Broken Vow, and The Alchemist’s Bride. Both of these originated on Kindle Vella as well.

I’m also planning to continue my audiobook work, releasing not only these two novels in that format but also some older works. This is the year I plan to release Sanctuary of Echoes in audiobook form. I don’t like to show partiality to any of my work, but Sanctuary is one I’ve always kept close to my heart.

In addition to this, I’ll be continuing my work on Kindle Vella. I currently have two Vellas in progress: The Vine, which is a direct sequel to The Tethering, and An Unintended Witch. I also hope to start a brand new book there, the fourth installment in the New Orleans Paranormal Series. If you want more information on any of these works, please visit my Books, Audiobooks, or Kindle Vella Pages on the main menu of the homepage.

So, 2024 is shaping up to be an exciting time, but I truly believe it’s also a time of great consequence. Our decisions this year will impact us profoundly in the coming years. We must think long and hard about what kind of country we want to live in and what kind of world we want to live in. Do we want to have peace and tolerance for one another, or do we want to dictate to our sisters and brothers and thus put our own freedom in jeopardy? Something to think about: every action and every inaction has a consequence.

All My Best to Everyone,

Evelyn

Book and Vella News

November 29, 2023

As we’re approaching the end of November, I wanted to release an update on some exciting things that are happening now and are around the corner. I was very pleased this month to see the publication of Dumaine Street. Presently, I am working on an audiobook version of the book, which should be out sometime in December.

On the Kindle Vella front, as well as having five completed Kindle Vella stories, I have two that are still ongoing. This month, I have released new episodes for “An Unintended Witch” as well as “The Vine: A Portent of Crows.” If you have yet to try Kindle Vella, it’s a unique reading experience where you use coins purchased at Amazon to unlock new episodes. The first three episodes are always free to read, and Amazon is usually eager to give you several hundred free coins when you sign up. So, check it out. It is optional to continue if it’s not for you.

So, that’s it for now. I really hope everyone takes some time to enjoy the holidays this next month and keep on reading. 🙂

An Unintended Witch

As an orphan, Rory Finn was raised by her Aunt Monique to be a practitioner in the arcane ways of magic. Then, last year, a powerful wizard initiated her but subsequently vanished from her life. Now, however, Rory is determined to walk away from the old ways, course correct, and establish herself as an artist in New Orleans. The problem is that her old life won’t let her go. And that enigmatic wizard is back and more than eager to help her curb the turbulent occult forces burgeoning within her.

The Vine: A Portent of Crows

Deborah Brandt has found the man of her dreams, literally. Unfortunately, Daniel Wren comes with a lot of baggage, particularly a mother who counsels them from other spiritual planes, an Uncle formidable with psychic abilities, and a family lineage involving a specific destiny for him and Deborah. The problem is when their beloved city of New Orleans seems under siege while Deborah is just trying to find a way to fit in and cope. Can she ever be the woman he has been looking for?
