Poppy Fitzgerald
Poppy Fitzgerald is the author of the Birch Falls Series, a dark romantic suspense collection where love and danger collide, and nothing is ever quite what it seems.
Poppy Fitzgerald’s books explore women trapped in love that turns dangerous, manipulative, or suffocating. Each book follows a different FMC, Eloise (Astray), Serena (Exile), and Everly (Duress) as they navigate toxic relationships, obsession, and betrayal while searching for freedom and self-worth. Along the way, unexpected allies and forbidden connections challenge them to confront trauma and reclaim their voices.
Together, the novels weave a dark, emotional journey about survival, healing, and the messy complexities of love.

Our first Verse & Voices event celebrated the release of Duress by Poppy Fitzgerald with an evening full of connection and storytelling.

Overall, it was a fun social gathering where readers met new friends, shared their love of books, and came together to celebrate Poppy’s success.
"I had an amazing time sitting down with Vana for her first Verse and Voices event. Vana handled everything so all I had to do was show up and talk about my books. She asks insightful questions, engages the audience and allowed me to connect with new to me readers while supporting a local indie bookstore. If you are local to Southwest Virginia and are looking to connect with more readers, I highly recommend signing up for a Verse and Voices session."
