Death’s Door: An Edgar Allan Poe Time Travel Novella by April White
Mystery, 4.8 stars, 149 reviews
In the fall of 1849, Edgar Allan Poe disappeared. He was missing for five days, and was then found wandering near Gunnar’s Hall in Baltimore, delirious and possibly drunk, wearing strange clothes and carrying a cane. Poe died four days later in a Baltimore hospital, never having regained proper consciousness except to call out for a mysterious person by the name of “Reynolds.” Of course Poe was a Clocker, and I knew I would write that story someday. What I hadn’t expected was who would find Poe when he stumbled into the 21st Century. Her name is Alexandra “Ren” Reynolds, and she has a secret too.

But thanks to my half-elven blood, a powerful sword named Chopper, and a telepathic tiger with an attitude, I’ve always been able to handle my problems with aplomb. Maybe some cursing and swearing, too, but definitely aplomb…

Romance, 4.5 stars, 52 reviews
Anna King isn’t even dreaming of a new man in her life. Not after a holiday romance went all wrong thirty years ago. Her career, her beautiful home, and most of all her twins are all she wants and needs. Who needs a man if you have fantastic friends? Not this well respected Auckland lawyer.
