Mary Ann Poll, America’s Lady of Supernatural Thrillers, is the award-winning author of the Ravens Cove series. Born in Texas and shaped by its wide skies and stubborn spirit, Mary Ann called Alaska home for over forty years — and though her boots are back on Texas soil, her heart never left the Last Frontier. That love for both lands breathes through every page — from the stubborn, sun-baked spirit of Texas to the eerie perpetual light of the Alaskan solstice and the rich traditions of Alaska’s Indigenous peoples.

Her love for a spine-tingling, goosebump-creating story and her love for Christ come together in her writing. Mary Ann’s own spiritual journey — from a lifelong fascination with the supernatural to a deep and abiding faith — gives her Ravens Cove novels their distinctive voice: suspenseful, grounded in real spiritual stakes, and ultimately rooted in hope.

In The Tide Weaver, that voice finds its fullest expression yet, weaving together Dena’ina tradition, Christian spiritual warfare, and the untamed Alaskan landscape into a battle for one town’s soul.

When she’s not writing, Mary Ann enjoys gardening, swimming, and spending time with her beloved family and pets — who have a habit of finding their way into her stories.
