Author Information

I finally had Time+Energy to devote to writing a story that I hope is entertaining and possibly mentally challenging to those who enjoy a good mystery. This is my third book. My first two involved Springheeled Jack in Curse of a Devil and The Bones of Jack. Five+ years of research and thought, waking in the middle of the night to enhance an idea, and unending editing went into the tale. I tried to include as many aspects of NOLA I could, including history, legends, and culture. My perception of the area, personal life experiences, and researched material went into this project. At some points it seemed I would never finish but now, I hope with it all down in text and illustrations, my mind can find some peace and a reader can escape into the world I created for some relaxing enjoyment.
