about me
A man of his times with one virtue and a thousand crimes.--Lord Byron "The Corsair"
The hero, the villain, or modern tragic character. A modern Achilles who inflicts his own arrow.--Romanus "The Wings of the Seraph"
Evil isn't a residence. It makes its home in the hearts of all men always.--Preston Richard "Shadow Ghosts of the Moonlight"
New Orleans is that one hot chick in the bar with a serpent tattoo and hot pink hair that you know is crazy but you pick her up anyway as she kicks in a bathroom door to pee. You know the relationship is going to burn up and flame out quick. But what a Hell of a ride.-Max Faucheaux "Shadow Ghosts of the Moonlight"

JCS87 has this great website you should check out called byondepic.com . She put it together to advertise her own great works and to help out her fellow writers. She did a fantastic job!

If I owe you a review please let me know. If I owe you a follow up let me know too. If I owe you money, well I'm in the Gulf of Mexico in twelve foot seas and will have to get back to you.
I threw my heart and soul into "The Wings of the Seraph". It's more than a horror/mystery/romance novel. It's a nostalgic look back to my grandfather's farm in Bayou L'Ourse, La. It's a magical place I've spent my whole adult life trying to get back to. The story itself was inspired by my late uncle, Jay LeBlanc, who was a mischevious cowboy that liked to tell gargoyle stories on our ride back from the eastern woods of the ranch. For added effect he'd bang on the roof and really get us to squeal. Thanks always Uncle Jay!
The books I've written and are writing are based on real people and based on real travel experiences minus the supernatural creatures to come. Also I see each book as an opportunity to entertain and enlighten the reader on Louisiana histrory, politics, and culture.
Dorrance Publishing, Diabolic Publishing, and Samhain Publishing are looking over my work. Dorrance is offering a "vanity fair" contract and the other publishers have been entertained. We shall see what the best contract will be.
Currently "The Devil Of Black Bayou" is on Kindle and is in final proofread for Amazon.
