Indulge in a drama-filled exploration of relationships and counseling.

The Dr. Naomi Alexander Series …

One doctor, numerous patients. Have a seat.
Murder, Ghosts, Treachery, Therapy.
And then there’s betrayal, deception, cognac, and peanut butter to bring it all together for rounds of drama on and off that yellow counsel couch.

From marriage counseling to grief counseling to trauma counseling, psychiatrist, Dr. Naomi Alexander, is on top of her game—and doesn’t necessarily play by all the rules.

(Like Sweet Buttermilk): “The love between Rick and Viv is surreal and extremely intense. It’s what you’d want in a marriage. I loved the slow, steady suspense in this book. I kept waiting for what was going to happen next. Very good read.”

—Bernita S., Amazon reader

(Like Sweet Buttermilk): “This novel has so many twists and turns, what a tangled web we weave…..what lengths will you go to save your family? An action-packed read! My first read by this author but definitely not my last!”
—M. Cecil, 2018 BARR event attendee

(Obscure Boundaries): “Dr. Naomi is back with some real life issues that touched me in a personal way. Dealing with grief is not a one-size fits all situation. Her characters will make you laugh, cry and and even get angry, especially that one character!!!!! I wanted to fight her?. Can’t wait for the next book! I definitely recommend S.F. Powell’s novels.”

S.F. POWELL TRANSFORMS IMAGINATIONS

Words, written or spoken, have the power to transform views, transport imaginations. I’ve spent years penning works with the intention of creating interesting worlds and characters for adults. My character-driven novels, set in the Washington DC Metropolitan area (the ‘DMV’), center around heroine- psychiatrist, Dr. Naomi Alexander, and her patients. There’s no shortage of drama, suspense, intrigue, and mental angst in the quirky-yet-interesting life of Dr. Alexander.

If you’ve discovered my published work(s) and have come in search of more, this is where you will find more in-depth information about the characters you love (or love to hate) and the worlds in which they live.

Stories are nothing without people and places that come alive on the page, and sometimes you crave a little more when the book is closed, so I’ve created a variety of interactive features that bring you closer to my characters and my specific genre as a whole.

Creating fiction where readers ‘lose’ themselves in the tale and embrace the characters and world(s) you’ve established, is a writer’s joy.

LIKE SWEET BUTTERMILK

It all starts with Like Sweet Buttermilk. Rick and Viv Phillips are involved in some fiery intrigue in this provocative look at a contemporary love story exploring the capacity of love and the limits of forgiveness. The story delves into the emotional boundaries within what appears to be an ordinary marital relationship.
