Alessa Chanel is a literary maverick whose audacious storytelling defies traditional standards. She spins gripping tales that plunge deeper into the unknown, defying societal norms with a daring fusion of supernatural mystery, romance, and dystopian landscapes.

Born in the same hospital almost 100 years to the date after Edgar Allan Poe drew his final breath on October 7, 1849, Alessa seems destined to channel not only Poe’s dark and creative mind, but also others such as: Ernest Hemingway, Ray Bradbury, and Mike Royko.

Her wit is as razor sharp as Groucho Marx, one of the craftiest orators since Vaudeville, her bravery to attack the status quo, comes from the great Mae West, who had a famous line of, “You only live once, and if you do it right, once is enough.”

Alessa intends to write as Mae West lived.
