T.A. Powell

T.A. Powell is the CEO of Brownstone Literary Works, LLC and a successful playwright and novelist. An avid participant within the field of investigative forensics, Powell finds her writing a natural extension of her passion for science, the paranormal and the law. Fascinated by the lure of unsolved cases, she writes both true crime and historical fiction pieces, finding them a more palatable format when dealing with sensitive information. The author says time and distance from a crime allows her the opportunity to separate fact from collective truth and places them equally under the microscope of objectivity. Her process is to take the DNA of a case; what facts are known and what has been conjectured, apply the theory of Occam's razor to each and then after careful and extensive research...weave a gripping tale of plausibility from the two. The goal of T.A.'s writing is not necessarily to answer all the questions surrounding these unsolved cases; but to be certain the voices of the victims are finally heard. Powell works closely with both active and retired law enforcement, along with psychic/medium detectives to unearth information and provide proper authorities with potential evidence to bring these cold cases to layman's fruition. Powell works with several researchers from C.C.I.R.I. (Cold Case Investigative Research Institute; a partnership between Auburn University Montgomery, Faulkner University and Bauder College) and studied Investigative Forensics through UMUC.

T. A. Powell's recent release: LORDS OF THE HARVEST: A TRUE CRIME INVESTIGATIVE MEMOIR is a riveting forensics journey through several infamous serial killings such as; the Boston Strangling's, the Columbus Stocking Strangling's, the California Zodiac kills, the Oakland County Child killings, and the Atlanta Missing and Murdered Children of the 1980's. This book is written in real-time progressive revelation and chronicles the discovery of a signature element, hidden within the physical evidence of each case, that helped her unlock them all. Packed full of case file testimonies, eye witness identifications, direct and critical evidence... this investigative author, along with the POA of a convicted felon confirm the author's theory and provide substantive evidence and case sensitive information to appropriate authorities.

Powell has several other novels to her credit and is currently working on the third in her investigative series;THE DEAD LINE: TRUE CONFESSIONS OF A DIXIE MAFIA ASSASIN. This epic novel will continue the investigative author's foray into the rural justice system of Georgia in the 1960's and will be available through Amazon late in 2018.

"T.A. Powell came to our attention during the Moores Ford Bridge investigation. As author of the novel, The Danburg Diary (based in part on the actual events of the Moores Ford Bridge lynchings), she has been a valuable resource to the students at the Cold Case Investigative Research Institute. Through both oral and written presentation of her research, T.A.'s intuitive investigating and due diligence to detail brings case history to life for our students. She is a wonderful story teller as well as advocate for justice and is listed amongst C.C.I.R.I.'s Experts."
