About this item
Jenny Weston and her mother, Dora, have been receiving strange midnight visits. Bear Falls's own elusive and highly secretive poet, Emily Sutton, has lived her life cloistered away with her sister in a house at the edge of Pewee Swamp. But now, Emily's started leaving scraps of poetry in Dora's Little Library, and Dora makes it her mission to befriend the sheltered woman.Meanwhile Zoe Zola, almost famous author, Little Person, and the Weston's quirky next-door neighbor, is hard at work on a new book, this one about the inner life of Emily Dickinson. And once again, Zoe's literary work starts making uncanny connections with the events in her own world as Emily Sutton reemerges into society. But Zoe begins to suspect things aren't anywhere near normal at Emily's swamp house or in the lives of the people she claims have abandoned her.
About the Author
I love living in the woods of northwest lower Michigan and receiving stories directly from nature. Nature gave me the crows that begin Dead Dancing Women; the low lake levels and the skeletons of Dead Floating Lovers; the unearthly place in the woods of book three, and the tent-worms: the overweening metaphor of book 4. My other work includes Gift of Evil (Bantam) , history books, short stories in lit mags world-wide; work done on stage, and on radio. I teach writing at a local college and at Skidmore College for the International Womens Writing Guild. I write for the Northern Express Magazine and am on the Michigan State Library's committee to choose the best Michigan books of the year.Both books of the Emily Kincaid series (currently out) have been well reviewed by Library Journal, PW, Booklist, Kirkus, Mystery Scene Magazine, Traverse City Record Eagle, Northern Express, Detroit Metro Times, and others.I am a member of Michigan Writers, Detroit Working Writers, International Women's Writing Guild, Sisters in Crime, and also a member of The International Crime Writers Association. I love hearing from readers and hope you'll contact me at my website: www.elizabethbuzzelli.com where Emily Kincaid, Deputy Dolly, and I all blog.
