New Orleans

I went to New Orleans for the first time on my 25th birthday.  Up until then, the farthest place from my home in Southern California where I had ever been was Colorado.  My husband and I arrived in New Orleans before dawn, and when the taxi drove us through the French Quarter to our hotel, I was amazed.  It was nothing like I'd seen before, and reminded me of what I'd always dreamed Europe would be like.  It was the first of many subsequent trips and the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

The Ghost in the Plantation is here!

This humorous, PG-rated mystery about a teenager sleuth, who's very similar to Nancy Drew, is written especially for women baby boomers who grew up reading and loving the Nancy Drew series.  This book takes place in the French Quarter of New Orleans.  Nancy, her father and friends go there on vacation, and the concierge at their hotel dies mysteriously in Oak Alley Plantation.  This is the first murder case Nancy has taken on, and she's only 16. Nancy's fun and funky Aunt Audrey joins the investigation, and they get some help from surprising real life characters.  When Nancy's not having café au lait and beignets at the Café du Monde, she's being chased down Bourbon Street by a man in a hoodie who suspects she knows about Agent Q. Come ride the St. Charles streetcar through the Garden District, eat at Brennan's, listen to live jazz in Jackson Square, and learn about voodoo and ghosts with Nancy in her latest adventure.
