SUMMARY:Tell-Tale Talks Featuring: Emily Carpenter
DESCRIPTION:Join us at The Poe Museum on Thursday\, May 14th for a Tell-Tale Talk with author Emily Carpenter\, who will discuss her newest novel\, A Spell For Saints And Sinners. \n\n\n\nAbout A Spell For Saints And Sinners: \n\n\n\nIn front of an elegantly shabby townhouse on a Savannah side street sits a hand-painted sign: Miss Edie\, Psychic. Ingrid White inherited the house and business from her beloved grandmother\, a local celebrity in town. But unless Ingrid can find a way to pay for crushing property taxes and mounting repairs\, she’s going to lose them both. Then Sailor Loeffler’s bachelorette party arrives at her door. Sailor is local royalty—part of the vast “Savannah Sauce” empire\, beautiful and wealthy beyond imagining—and Ingrid’s reading is so accurate that she’s welcomed in as the bride-to-be’s confidante. To keep that access and all the privileges it brings\, Ingrid relies more and more on hexes and dark spells—using the baneful magic Edie always warned her against. As Ingrid works even riskier spells\, she is drawn further into the Loefflers’ inner circle and the obstacles in her path melt away. But is it witchcraft or other\, more earthbound forces? Ingrid can feel the lines blurring even as her powers seem to grow\, until she must confront the truth about just how far some people\, including herself\, will go to keep the life they’ve always wanted… \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout Emily Carpenter: \n\n\n\nEmily Carpenter is a bestselling author of novels of suspense. Her previous novels include Gothictown (A Southern Living Best Book of 2025…so far)\, Burying the Honeysuckle Girls\, The Weight of Lies\, Every Single Secret\, Until the Day I Die\, and Reviving the Hawthorn Sisters\, which Publishers Weekly called a “refreshingly modern gothic tale” and Kirkus called “an exciting\, gothic-tinged quest.” After graduating from Auburn University in Alabama with a Bachelor of Arts in Speech Communication\, Emily moved to New York City. She’s worked as an actor\, producer\, screenwriter\, and behind-the-scenes soap opera assistant for the CBS shows\, As the World Turns and Guiding Light. Emily is a member of International Thriller Writers and Mystery Writers of America. Born and raised in Birmingham\, Alabama\, she now lives in Atlanta\, Georgia with her family. Savannah is the city she dreams about moving to one day. \n\n\n\nWebsite: www.emilycarpenterauthor.comInstagram: @emily.d.cThreads: @emily.d.cFacebook: @ecarpenterauthor \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCopies of Emily’s book will be available for purchase during the event. \n\n\n\nReserve your tickets below! \n\n\n\nThank you to Fountain Bookstore\, who will sell books after the talk. \n\n\n\nCan’t make it in person?
