Blog postDear ReaderFade to Black is about to hit the stands—physical and digital stands! It’s a book I loved working on—one that started out at a comic con.
I love cons. The first picture is of amazing actor Doug Jones and myself at a comic con in New Orleans. He was promoting a movie while I was at a wonderful booth with Sue Quiroz, once long-time assistant to Anne Rice and creator of some of the most amazing vampire balls ever!I consider myself incredibly privileged to know Doug (and, of course, -

Blog postHaving grown up in Miami, the Florida Keys were always a getaway for my family and I’ve loved heading down to the entire chain of islands all my life – especially Key West!
First, of course, for anyone from the city area, you find yourself cheerful just because you’re driving south. Yes, they are basically cat -

Blog postIn theory, the mini ice-age might be the reason St. Patrick’s Day is celebrated far and wide.By the mid-eighteen-hundreds, the potato—a New World crop—had become big in Ireland. It th. Imagine life without the parades—and green beer, of course. (My mom was born in Dublin so it’s all pretty cool to me!)

Blog postThe imaginings of any story start with a seed. And for me, history always tends to leave a lot of seeds that we can allow to grow into something else—fiction. With our current watch on the weather and global warming, I found it fascinating that in relative recent history--in the grand scope of the Earth and humanity--we had a “mini ice age.” And that mini ice age affected the world in many ways.

Blog postHappy Valentine’s Day to one and all. May the love flow! Maybe it’s nice because we at least try to show care and allow petty arguments to slip by because . . . it’s St. Valentine’s Day! And we’re honoring someone (or several someone’s; history is dicey) who truly did what he could for love. &nb

Blog postValentine's Day. Across the country and much of the world, we’ll be
celebrating love. There’s a good reason to celebrate love on this
day—beyond the fact that we’re helping to keep Hallmark and other
card vendors in business. (History and theories on Valentine’s Day to
come on Valentine’s Day!)
I just don’t understand quite where we’ve taken -
Blog postWounded Warriors Let’s face it—every day we see Americans angry about money and our financial situation. Seriously—what happened? Congress used to serve—not pop in for a few years of hard-headed arguments and then a life time of payment and insurance.
Every day on Facebook I see a post about what pe -

Journal – USO
Day Minus One
I had everything pretty much so ready—packing should have been easy.
It’s never easy and I should know that—the pets always want to help. Well, I have a huge duffel bag and a couple of huge pairs of boots and a huge jacket. That first. Then, logistics! -

Blog postEverybody’s Got an Opinion So . . . I love New Orleans, which is pretty evident. I’ll never know exactly what made me so very passionate about the city. Is it the history—is it a real mystique, or something that we’ve given to it.
More than anything, I think it’s the way that Nola manages to be a city of living history. People live out their lives in homes where others tread before, dealing with the tragedy of the Civil War, slave markets, Civil Rights, and more. Restaurants are places wh -

Blog postLagniappe The word lagniappe actually entered the world through the Louisiana French who adapted it from the Spanish Creoles who came to New Orleans who adapted it from a Quechua word. Confusing? It originated from lapay, which sounds like a slangy version of “you pay.”

Blog postThe Good, the Bad, and the Ugly—the Slave Market and the Civil War
There were many flags over New Orleans and more nationalities than flags—and a color palette that would confuse the makers at Crayola. There were French in the city, of course. A lot of prisoners—convicts given a newlife—as in much of the New W -

Blog postSometimes, You’ve Just Got to Sleep!!And you can find some wonderful places to do so . . . . Writers for New Orleans naturally takes place at one of my favorite places to stay, but that comes up last, so for now, I’ll mention a few other places that are great—all depending on what you’re looking for!
Remember, it would be almost as impossible to list all the wonderful bed and breakfast establishments and hotels that can be found in New Orleans as it would be to tell about all the bars. & -
Blog postVampires!!
It’s late at night, darkness has fallen, and an unwary woman walks cobblestone streets. A
streetlight flickers . . . she looks back in fear. Shadows race eerily in the night; there’s a strange sound of movement on the wind.
And then the vampire strikes . . . .
Or, p -
Blog postBars, Booze, and Broads—Bourbon Street
Okay, let’s face it. NOLA is known for Bourbon Street and for “laissez les bon temps
rouler,” or “let the good times roll!” While incredible, interesting, and historic bars can be found all over New Orleans, many a once innocent soul has spent the night just on and around famous—and infamous—Bourbon Street.

Blog postGhosts!
It’s been a hot, sultry day. You’ve walked the city until nightfall and suddenly the air cools. The steam rises from the pavement and you’re walking in a field of mist by Jackson Square. And then you see him—a figure coming from the closed doors of the Cathedral. Perhaps he heads down one of the alleys that flank the Church, Pirate’s Alley or—Pere Antoine Alley.. He turns to look at you with -
Blog postBayou Baby! “Ya seen one gator, ya seen ‘em all!” So said a visitor to NOLA I overheard one day.
Hm. Okay, well, I’m from South Florida where, while I was growing up, it was a pretty common thing to get out in the Everglades. I’ve always loved our heritage here—heading out to Shark Valley where you’ll walk a pat -
Blog postPirates!
The pirate Jean Lafitte became more famous for joining Andrew Jackson to become a hero of the Battle of New Orleans than he was a pirate. (The French spelling of his name was Laffitte and he didn’t even come through Ellis Island, but in America it became Lafitte and with the number of places named after him now, hopefully he’d just go with it!) Everywhere you go in New Orleans—and in much of Louisiana—you can be reminded of Jean Lafitte. &n -
Blog postJackson Square, The Cabildo, The Cathedral, and the Presbytere A picture speaks a thousand words, as we all know. No picture of New Orleans
seems to speak quite as elegantly of the historical city as that of Jackson Square with the beautiful St. Louis Cathedral rising behind the famous statue of Andrew Jackson mounted on his rearing steed. &n -
Blog postBlue Dog—Red Dog, Yellow Dog—and Art! Every so often a musician, an artist, a filmmaker, or writer creates a piece that just has a spark of something special, magical perhaps. Sometimes, those creators touch an age group, the angst in life, the feel of true romance, the pain of loss or war . . . or even a smile.
It’s always hard to explain. And a -
Blog postWho Do Voodoo You Do—Tea Leaves and More! Voodoo—what is it? We can all conjure up images of a voodoo priest or priestess conjuring spells to call the “dead” from their graves. We’ve seen voodoo dolls with pins and needles—and most of us know, as well, that voodoo is a recognized religion practiced by many people around the globe with place and custom making small changes in the religion, just as Christian

Blog postJambalaya Jubilee-ing, French Quarter Fest-ing, Bent Pages—and Strawberries! Spring comes around, springs-up, so to say (very bad pun) every year. Spring means you can get set for the French Quarter Fest—one of the largest free music festivals in the country. There’s something as fresh and fun as the spring season about the Fest—you walk around, you see stands with wonderful and incredible goodies t

The Historical Wax Museum of New Orleans Musee Conti
I have a love/hate relationship with wax museums. I’m not all that big on the ones that show you images of current stars and those departed. (Yes, I admit, I have had a picture taken with wax figures.) But my real love is a wax mu -
Blog postMusic and All That Jazz
First of all, if you can make it, one of the most remarkable events of the year in Nola is New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival that takes place for ten days in spring. (You can still make it this year!)
In my humble opinion, there is nothing quite like it. Nola loves jazz, and
