Blog postMy last Landry Drake novel, The Atonement, released last May, and although I envision writing more in the Bayou Hauntings series, Landry’s ready to test his skills in other parts of the country.
My latest book Serpent will be available at the end of December. This is the first in a new series called Mysterious America, and readers who enjoy Landry, Cate Adams and the crew will find them exploring one of the country’s most haunted cities—Savannah, Georgia. -
Blog postIn mid-June my wife and I returned to New Orleans for the first time in sixteen months. We’d seen ads on TV welcoming us back and claiming the city was ready for visitors, and with notable exceptions, we found that promise to be true.
The major issue for us was restaurant availability. A shortage of people willing to return to the workforce has hit the Big Easy, as it has everywhere in America. Many upscale French Quarter venues no longer open for lunch. Many others are clo -
Blog postMy 2020 Bayou Hauntings novel Die Again was set in a genuinely haunted French Quarter building in the 500 block of Toulouse Street. For years an Irish pub called O’Flaherty’s occupied the two-hundred-year-old structure, and today it’s home to the New Orleans Creole Cookery restaurant and bar. The building is on every ghost tour of the Quarter, and so many people have seen the ghosts that nobody scoffs at the tales any more.
508 Toulouse Street in the French Quarter. One of New O -

Blog postArmed with vaccine in our arms and ready for an adventure, my wife and I joined another couple for a trip along the coast from Savannah, Georgia to Charleston, South Carolina. We loved the places we visited, and we had an especially good time at the Azalea Inn and Villas in Savannah.
The beautiful Azalea Inn and Villas Teresa Jacobsen is the innkeeper, and she is a military veteran whose father and both grandfathers also proudly served our country. We knew we would like Teresa from th -

Blog postWant a great idea to celebrate the world slowly returning to normal? Come on down to Acadian Louisiana and enjoy the BOOKS ALONG THE TECHE LITERARY FESTIVAL. It takes place over three days in April, and you’ll meet authors, enjoy great music and fine cooking, and enjoy the beauty and serenity of New Iberia, one of Bayou Teche’s most charming communities.

Blog postIt took twenty-five years to finish my first book, The Bethlehem Scroll. I started and stopped as my “real job” in the corporate world took precedence over my desire to write a novel. That first book was published in 2009, and not long afterwards I decided to retire and become a novelist.
Book number one, the first in the Brian Sadler Archaeological Thriller series It took two years to write my second book, then I got into the flow There was one a year, then two and ev -
Blog postLately I’ve received a few reviews that question why my latest novels, set in 2020 Britain and the USA, contain no mention of social distancing, or masks, or viruses. I discussed this in another blog when all this started, but it’s worth mentioning again, since we’ve all been doing this for more than twelve months now.
I write escape fiction. Although I do a lot of research to be sure my locales are authentic, I don’t include every sordid detail about a town—or a pandemic. Many reader -
Blog postHoly moly, was it cold in Texas last week! We know about hurricanes and tornadoes and drought and hundred-degree weather, but we don’t know a thing about -2 degrees Fahrenheit with a wind chill of -12. Neither the population nor, apparently, the electric power gurus were prepared for a week below freezing, boil-water regulations, generating station failures and a dozen other things that should have been addressed years ago but weren’t.
Things weren’t looking so good. ONE degree with snow -
Blog postFor many years, green bean bundles have been a part of our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners. Everybody loves them, they’re individually wrapped so people can take as many as they want (plan for several per person!), and they are super-easy to make. Here’s hoping your family will like them too!

3 14.5 oz. cans of whole green beans, drained
1 pound bacon (long strips, NOT center-cut). Cut strips in
