Synopses:
The Gloom (book 1):
As a lazy summer evening comes to a close, Poppy finds herself out by
the hollowed out tree in her backyard, avoiding the ire of her
stepmother for an incident that occurred while Poppy was babysitting her
little sister. All her life Poppy has had questions about her real
mother, who disappeared when she was an infant. She gets an unexpected
answer when an ill-tempered pixie captures her and takes her through the
tree and into Winsome, a magical kingdom that is suffering from a
powerful and evil force known as the Gloom.
The Doldrums:
Over the past year Poppy has made many trips back into Winsome,
catching up with the friends she’s made. On the anniversary of her first
visit to the kingdom, a gala is cut short when Augusta’s aide, Benny,
is found gruesomely injured, and Poppy’s friend, Annie, has been
abducted and taken into the mysterious goblin caves known as the
Doldrums. Poppy decides that she must travel into the elaborate
mountainside maze to rescue her friend and halt the efforts of an old
adversary.
The Dregs:
Since her first adventure into Winsome, Poppy has encountered magic and
power greater than she had ever imagined. But, what will happen when
evil finds its way into the human world? In this exciting final
installment of The Gloom Trilogy, Poppy finds herself in the Dregs, a
run-down industrial park with danger lurking around every corner.
Somewhere hidden in this wasteland of factories and warehouses is an old
foe of Winsome, who has eluded her twice before. Here, Poppy must put
an end to this terrible force for once and for all, before both Winsome
and the human world fall victim to her enemy’s dreadful magic.
Author Bio:
Piper Lee Kelley was born in a small suburb of one of America's largest
cities. Although the beach was a mere block from her home, she still
harbors a general distaste for sand and ocean water. Since her father
hated to drive, her explorations in the city were relegated to walking,
usually barefoot. Growing up without television or even a phone, Piper
relied on her creative mind to conjure elaborate fantasies, which propel
her work to this day.
She
moved away from the beach around the age of 25. She misses it
terribly, but the loss came with the gain of a wonderful family of her
own. Piper has been with her husband for 10 years and, along with two
wonderful children and two obnoxious cats, she now spends her time in
the suburbs of a much smaller city. Her cats spend their time cuddling
up with her laptop.
In Piper’s debut novels, she explores the nature of family, love, forgiveness, and bravery.
