Sisterhood of the Sword: A Jamie Poole Diary (Jamie Poole Diaries Book 7) 11/11/2019

by Ellen E. Sutherland

$10.93

Jamie Poole may have stopped hundreds of murders which happened before her birth, but is she prepared to meet the man behind the crimes?
She’d time-traveled to prevent Tristan from manipulating Time by changing one event: killing all those people. To block his actions, she’d also manipulated Time.
Now back in the present, she’s vowed never to do it again. It was too risky. There were too many chances to break the timeline. The consequences frightened her. Already she saw changes in her friends and family. Some shifts were subtle. Some more drastic. If she did it again, the consequences could be devastating.
“All paths lead you to me,” Tristan promised her once.
He was right.
Events fell into place when she began receiving roses from her deceased grandfather. Then he appeared to her and revealed the location of a stolen alabaster statue. That detail might seem unrelated to Tristan’s crimes, but the statue was of a Druidess. She had been the leader of the murdered people. And the statue contained unknown power.
Jamie and her friend Lenore head for Halifax, Nova Scotia, to retrieve the stolen statue.
That had been a mistake.
Tristan had laid a careful trap. One false move and Jamie found herself falling down a wormhole and backwards in Time. Again.
She finds herself in World War II Halifax, haven to covert Nazi spies. German U-boats prowl the coast of Nova Scotia, and Halifax is prepared to go to war.
Tristan is there poised as a Nazi spy, and he wants Jamie’s “help.” She has no intentions of helping. She’s broken her own vow to never travel in Time or harm the timeline. Now she must or she will never escape Tristan or return home.
Can she return home? And if so, how fractured will the timeline be? Time is ever shifting, and Tristan has big plans for Jamie. All she wants is to go home and find that everything has returned to normal.
That will never happen.
Come with Jamie as she tries to figure out why Tristan is bent on destroying her and those she loves. The answer is not straightforward as she quickly discovers.
Based on historical events.

The Wild Hunt: A "Lost" Jamie Poole Diary (Lost Jamie Poole Diaries Book 3) 21/04/2019

by Ellen E. Sutherland

$5.63

“The Wild Hunt. A ghostly or supernatural group of huntsmen passing in wild pursuit. Depending on who does the telling, they could be elves, fairies, or the dead. There are many legends on who leads them. Cain. Gabriel. The Devil. Take your pick. Sometimes a woman accompanies them. Always dogs. It’s an omen of misfortune and death for those who see,” Nick explained to Jamie.
We come. The Voices of the disembodied Dead had promised Jamie.
This was the moment. Destiny. They would come as the Wild Hunt.
Nick, Jamie, and their friends heard the retelling of the Wild Hunt over a campfire one desolate night in Montana by a son of the Blackfoot nation. His people had witnessed the Hunt. Then Jamie came to possess Lumen, the supernatural sword that existed outside Time. But what really happened? How had Eliyana come to ride with the Hunt? Why did she leave the sword for Jamie in such a phantasmagorical manner?
Eliyana’s fate and that of her people is revealed.
Throughout her long life, she has withheld the secret of Lumen from her children—until her deathbed. And so we come to that moment where she must cross from this life to what lies beyond. Can they comprehend their mother’s revelations, or will they imagine them merely the ramblings of a dying woman? Can they grasp the significance of what she must do after her death? For she has much to do.
Why did she leave it so long to unburden herself? She had her reasons.
The Wild Hunt turns to the future and the question of Jamie’s fate now that she possesses a sword fashioned thousands of years before her birth. Possessing it brings responsibility, challenges, unimaginable dangers, and a life forever changed. Eliyana’s life resounded of this.
The Wild Hunt is a must-read for Jamie Poole fans. Much is revealed about Eliyana, Jamie, Lumen, and others impacted by events surrounding a sword that is anything but ordinary.
And what of Brett Poole, Jamie’s dad? We draw a step closer to discovering his identity.

Destiny of the Departed: A Jamie Poole Diary (Jamie Poole Diaries Book 6) 31/10/2018

by Ellen E. Sutherland

$9.66

Jamie Poole must stop the murder of hundreds of innocent people: A crime that happened almost 1500 years before her birth. An impossible request, and yet she saw no alternative but to figure out how to do it.

She grew up hearing the Voices of the Dead. Their primal rant, she said, clashed somewhere between a Gregorian chant and Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody on high speed. They begged, pleaded, and demanded she intervene. She’d tried to ignore them, but they refused to stop. They’d haunted her head and left her questioning her sanity.

“All this might sound strange—Booby Hatch strange even—but trust me. It’s real. Very real. Welcome to my life.”

Despite when these people died, Jamie knew them. They were Eliyana’s people. Several years ago, and before the Voices came, a twelve year-old Jamie and her dad had unintentionally resurrected Eliyana the Druidess. Everything changed when you resurrect a Druidess. In her defense that had been an accident. Since then Eliyana had returned to her people, vowing as she departed back in time, to rescue them. She’d learned details, including time and date, of a volcano that would destroy their island home. Confidently, she believed she could evacuate them before their island exploded.

Despite this knowledge, she’d failed.

Somewhere in her teens, Jamie came to realize why Eliyana failed. The Voices added another layer to their plea. Someone had crossed back and thwarted their rescue. They held firmly to the fact they shouldn’t have died in the explosion. It seemed odd that the Dead could know how they should have died—as if there were parallel worlds where something went wrong in one.

That someone had rewritten Time.

Despite the time span between the crime and when Jamie lived, they expected her to fix things leaving her feeling more than overwhelmed. Knowing who this “someone” was? That was easy.

Tristan.

Who Tristan was became a conundrum she failed to discern. No more than she understood what he hoped to accomplish by harming these people. At first she assumed the name was merely part of a catchy curse her dad said when he was angry. This was not the case. Her dad held a dark secret close to his chest. “It’s all connected—Dad, Tristan, Eliyana and her people, even me. I just don’t know how,” she said.

Once Tristan had visited her. He’d spoken to her often, sometimes trying to impersonate one of the Voices within the ranting chorus. In his oily smooth voice, he promised ominously all paths led to him.

Jamie wondered, “What sort of monster changes Time? Will I be equally a monster if I try to fix Time? If I am to help the Dead, I must travel to when everything happened. Voices of the Dead begged for help. I can no longer ignore them.”

Last summer during a supernatural storm, Jamie received a sword that existed outside time. Lumen was bestowed upon her to aid the Dead and protect her world from the wrong things crossing from the Otherworld. It would enable her to travel in time.

To save Eliyana’s people, Jamie must risk everything.

No one is safe. Can Jamie reconcile with that as she tries not to rip the fabric of Time? The weight of responsibility becomes more than she can bear.

Jamie grows into her own as she learns to wield the otherworldly sword. She will make mistakes. The lessons will be critical but costly.

Is she prepared to live with that?

The Courtship of Brett Poole: A Jamie Poole Book (Jamie Poole Diaries 5) 16/04/2018

by Ellen E. Sutherland

$6.21

Everything Jamie knows about her parents’ early relationship is based on lies. Dangerous lies.
Julia, Jamie’s mom, meant no malice. She changed details to protect her daughter, not realizing that in changing details—hiding certain ones—she would endanger Jamie and others, including herself.
For twelve years Jamie had only known about her dad. He vanished when she’d been six months old. Then one day she found him. Naturally Jamie had questions. She turned to her mom. She needed to understand why he left.
Julia recounted how they met. Nice, simple, and uncomplicated—and heavily edited.
“Jamie just met her dad,” Julia reasoned to herself. “She shouldn’t have to ask questions that only lead to awkward answers or answers I don’t know. The edited story is better. Safer. It spares Jamie the grief I bear every day.”
Before Jamie was born, Julia and Brett became lost in a cave. Brett had a blackout. “Buried alive!” he screamed. Julia wondered if he was he claustrophobic. She realized there was more to it when Brett continued to have blackouts after they married. Who was his family? Why hadn’t they come to the wedding? Family seemed a touchy subject but why?
Then there was the nasty question of Tristan.
Julia met Tristan, an odd, archaic man. He seemed friendly, but something predatory hiding behind his smile chilled her. He never explained his presence. Brett knew something, but the more she asked, the more insistently he denied everything. Whoever Tristan was, he was dangerous, and she would never speak his name.
How could she have known one day Jamie would meet Tristan? Julia lied about those early days to spare her daughter pain. Divorce is never easy. She wanted Jamie to enjoy getting to know her dad. Brett wasn’t a bad man, but the circumstances behind why he disappeared were complicated.
And the consequences of Julia’s lies? They continue to unfold in Jamie’s present life.
Should Julia have told the truth? Would that have prevented Jamie from meeting Tristan? As the daughter of the enigmatic Brett Poole, could there have been any other fate? No amount of editing or redacting details could halt a force as strong as the daughter of Brett Poole.
Years before Brett met Julia, Tristan warned, “She’ll be the death of us both, old chap. But you’ll find her in Indiana.”
The die had been cast. Follow Julia and Brett Poole as their courtship begins the most unconventional of ways.

$6.95

The Free Festival has happened annually at Stonehenge since 1974. June 1, 1985, the Wiltshire police intend to prevent it at any cost. What will occur will leave a black eye in England’s history. A clash between police and the Peace Convoy, a convoy of several hundred New Age Travellers including women and babies, left hundreds of cars as burned out shells. It resulted in one of the largest mass arrests since World War II.

Based on actual events, history meets fantasy as Dorothy Davis and her family join the Peace Convoy headed for Stonehenge. Dorothy has just lost her vision and is coping with a new life of blindness. Her daughter, Linda, is rebellious and would rather be anywhere but stuck in a hippy-painted Winnebago with her parents.

Until she meets Tristan.

The mysterious Tristan has appeared throughout the Jamie Poole series but has never primarily featured. His name has been synonymous with a curse. Tristan has come to Stonehenge for his own reasons. He feeds on chaos. He knows this particular day will be loaded with chaos, and he doesn’t wish to miss the fun. Will he harm Linda? Or protect her during the clash with police? What motivates him?

Follow this side story that exposes more of who is this “monster who changed time” as Jamie calls him. Jamie’s roommate, Lenore, is Linda’s daughter. What role might he have played in Lenore’s destiny?

Historically speaking, this is a critical modern moment, sometimes forgotten, in Stonehenge’s history. This story provides a snapshot into a fascinating archaeological site. From a fantasy perspective, the “monster of time” is just getting started tweaking time. He’s going to have some fun!

Tome of Tubal-Cain: A Jamie Poole Diary (Jamie Poole Diaries Book 3) 30/10/2016

by Ellen E. Sutherland

$9.79

“History,” the Voices said, “is broken. You must fix it. Come.”
That’s how it started. Voices in my head. Begging me to come, travel backwards in time, and right an injustice. They claimed the timeline we lived in was broken. History was wrong. Time could be rewritten. Must be rewritten. And I was the one to do it.
My name is Jamie Poole. I hear the Dead. I’m an ordinary person. I found an ancient sword named Lumen that some claim contains the power of God. It is a gift of God to man, bought with Nephilim blood. How I attained sword is a long story I will explain.
However, changing history? Rewriting Time? I’m only a university student. Then the Bloody Hound appeared. That meant one thing: Someone was going to die. I must protect my family and friends at any cost. Am I willing to pay the highest cost? Is the cost of changing Time too much?
Other things seek Lumen, named for the light. Shadowy beings. Why are there so many dark things chasing me? And why won’t the Voices stop begging? It’s not like I can save them when they died 1500 years before my birth.
My friend Lenore replied, “You are the shield between light and darkness. We need you. Those Voices in your head. They need you too. You hold a sword named for light. It draws out the darkness. No wonder they’re all grabbing numbers and waiting in line. When are you going to realize how extraordinary you are? Why do you think you have people like me and my granny hanging around? We’re drawn to the light too. Without darkness, there is no light.”

Come with me as I lead you to other worlds and other places, and as I meet famous figures. I am the Unpresuming Heroine. I have An Da Shealladh, second sight. I am called to do something extraordinary. I am called to right an injustice and help the Dead. I am called to fix Time.

by Ellen E. Sutherland

$11.99

“I resurrected a Druidess. In my defense, it was an accident,” states Jamie Poole. “When you resurrect a Druidess everything changes."
Eliyana, the Druidess, awakens to find herself almost 1500 years in the future. Lost, and scared, she’s haunted by her past where she failed to save her people. They died too soon and unjustly at the hand of the High Druid. All Eliyana wants is to go home. How can she do that when home is buried in a past that can’t be changed? Can it?
Meanwhile creatures very real and very present seek to kill Eliyana, Jamie, and her family.
The veil separating this world and the Otherworld is rent in two. Creatures freely cross the threshold to this world with one purpose: Aid their master, the High Druid, to locate Eliyana and the sword called Lumen which possesses unimaginable powers because it exists outside this dimension.
Jamie and Eliyana have to work together or there’s no hope.
There’s only one problem. Eliyana has disappeared. Meanwhile the Dead, those killed in Eliyana’s time, continue to implore help. Because Eliyana is missing, they look to Jamie. They still consider Eliyana their leader. What can Jamie do to help?
Things get more complicated as people from Jamie’s time also set their eyes on Lumen. Most scientists believed it to be a myth, but Lumen will reveal its power to the world. Something so powerful cannot be hidden long.
Can Eliyana return to save her people? It’s not like Jamie has a time machine to assist the Dead.
In this second Jamie Poole Diary, Jamie must work with Eliyana or they both will fail. Jamie dreams of adventure. Is this more than she anticipated? And who is her dad? He’s an Egyptologist by trade. That’s “what” he is. The “who” is illusive and her dad refuses to explain. There is far more to his story as it begins to unfold.
Jamie’s journey is only beginning in this sequel. She has much to learn. About her dad. About Lumen. And most importantly, about herself.

$11.99

So, here we are. At the beginning of a blank diary, clean white pages, pregnant with possibility. I fidget with the pen. I’m nobody special, and yet here I am. Center stage. I touch pen to paper and write the first sentence, permanently staining the vast expanse of white: I resurrected a Druidess.

(We’re past the part where I introduce myself.)

I scribble further: In my defense that was an accident.

There. I said it. But that wasn’t really the beginning. I should scratch that out.

I feel inclined to add that I had help. Not that this in itself spares me any of the responsibility. I bear full responsibility, but this diary remains blank despite this abrupt admittance. It sits patiently, awaiting a full confession. I must give it what it demands.

Join Jamie Poole in this debut novel, first in a series. It is a confession. It is also the journey of a young woman written in her own words. Growing up, she didn’t know her dad. When she finds him, she uncovers so much more. She finds herself and her destiny, but it is tied to something dark and sinister.

To understand her mysterious dad, she must unveil her adversary. Has she what it takes to match him? He always seems so many steps ahead.

Everything changes when you resurrect a Druidess. There is no undoing that even if you try.
