Cynthia Cirile
  Cirile began her career as a Graduate Teaching Fellow at The University at Buffalo, New York, where she received a Masters Degree in English. She has taught English at SUNY Buffalo; Lehman College, CUNY; and Mercy College, New York. Cirile then moved into the world of publishing; becoming Editor-in-Chief of New Body and Muscle and Beauty Magazines. Her love of writing made her pursue a career in screenwriting, and she has written films for: New Line Cinema; Paramount Pictures; 20th Century Fox, as well as independent film studios.

 
Integrating her love of writing and scholarly research led her to write the screenplay, Poe! Red Death on the Long Gray Line, which is currently in development with HKM Productions; and Providence, which is in development through 10th House Press and Thoughts in the Margin. Researching and writing about Poe re-awakened Cirile’s life-long fascination with him, and she determined to become a fulltime Poe researcher and writer. During this last six years Cirile has discovered many unknown portraits of both Edgar and Virginia Poe, has found concealed evidence about Poe’s relationship with Fanny Osgood, as well as uncovering many poems, essays and several short stories, which she believes to be the work of Edgar Allan Poe. Her theories about Virginia Poe as the 'supermodel' of her day were first published in 2002, in the Poe Museum Newsletter, under the title, "Poetic Justice." Cirile’s desire to present this vast store of new information has manifested in this web-site, sponsored by 10th House Press. Upcoming from 10th House Press are the first two in Cynthia Cirile’s startling books about Poe: The Mysteries of Edgar Allan Poe, and The Unknown Writings of Edgar Allan Poe, both to be published to coincide with the Poe Bicentennial in 2009.
