Local author S. E. Summa is an active PRO member of the Music City Romance Writers (MCRW), the local chapter of the Romance Writers of America. She graduated magna cum laude from Belmont University with a BBA.
Growing up in Nashville, S. E. Summa always felt the city's unique culture and landmarks would be the perfect setting for monsters to play. Creating a vast supernatural underbelly and infusing Southern charm with magical realism, she wrote Much of Madness from her home in Smyrna, Tennessee.
"As I was playing tourist downtown one day, I discovered the perfect location for a grisly horror scene," said the author, "while standing beneath the radio spire that extends from the ceiling of the Country Music Hall of Fame's rotunda."
"It was important from day one, that Nashville be an unspoken character throughout this story," notes Summa, "'Much of Madness' simply couldn't take place in any other city."
Broadway's honky tonks, the Schermerhorn Symphony Center, the Country Music Hall of Fame, and a fictional supernatural den of inequity in Printer's Alley, all serve as backdrops for this twisted tale of curses, revenge, and romance.
"Much of Madness" is a Southern Gothic Horror story about loyalty, sacrifice, and maintaining hope no matter the odds. Available on February 29, 2016.
S. E. Summa will attend two upcoming signings in Nashville at UTOPiA in June and the Authors at the Opry in September. She will also sign at book events in St. Louis, MO and Frankenmuth, MI in 2016.
