FRIDAY'S CHILD

This is the story of God’s work in my life. 

His angels watched over and protected me from the day I was born. Long before I chose to be baptized, he laid out my path, knowing that I would see the light many years and many heartbreaks later.

I was born in the middle-of-the-middle of a family of six girls and one boy. I wonder what the odds are of having seven children, each born on a different day of the week.

I am Friday’s Child.

THE BROKEN SHADE

When she became a cocktail waitress at a men's club in order to earn a few extra dollars to help in her home renovation, Freja O'Connell didn't suspect this innocuous job would open the door to new realms. But strange encounters can evolve under the oddest of conditions, and The Broken Shade reflects this experience as Freja explores a strange new world and considers her revised place in it...The Broken Shade excels in creating an evolutionary story that is thoroughly engrossing.
[Diane Donovan, Senior Reviewer, Midwest Book Review]

THE CANDY STORE

An orphaned 1980s teenager travels through time to the Jazz Age to discover the mystery of her identity in this sweetly confected historical fantasia... Poague’s vibrant characters and piquant period details make for an entertaining voyage into the past... An engaging, bittersweet saga about finding a place to belong. [Kirkus Reviews]

HEIR TO POWER

… I was surprised at how much I liked this. Not because I didn’t think it sounded good, but there weren’t any of the usual aspects that make me fall in love with a book, like high action and steamy romance. Yet somehow, I can’t stop thinking about it. The story completely captivated me.

FALL OF EDEN

...Fall of Eden is the second book in The Healing Crystal series. As I started this series I thought I knew what would be in the story. Let me tell you, if you have preconceived notions when you start reading, they will soon be thrown out the door. This series will lead you in one direction and as soon as you get comfortable, hang on, it soon switches gear and you are off in a new direction. I liked this aspect with Michele's writing. [S. Staley]

RANSOM

With Ransom, the final book in The Healing Crystal Trilogy, Michele Poague has brought about an exciting and more-than-satisfactory conclusion to a distinctive and epic narrative of a post-apocalyptic cosmos – one which might be more real than imagined especially considering the life and times we live in today...
