Book Cover & Preview Text
If you’ve ever been to N’awlins, as the locals call it, you would have to agree this is the most unique city in the country to live in. It’s like living in Europe without people wondering why you shower and shave your underarms. Where you can buy a drink at a drive-thru daiquiri shop 7 days a week. You can wear a mask in the middle of the street and no one thinks you’re going to rob the bank. And eat like a king without wondering if king is on the menu. That’s just a few of the reasons everybody loves it here.

About the Book
Tales From The Bayou is a compilation of six short stories about South Louisiana, dating from 1814, which was when the Battle of New Orleans was fought, to our modern times. The purpose of the book is to introduce Louisiana culture to those who may not be familiar with this part of America, and to enhance the appreciation of our heritage to local citizens of this very unique region. The book is very special in that it tells the stories of life from a variety of views. From little Cajun boys in the 1930’s and their mischievous antics, the lifelong story of a man of color along the shores of Lake Pontchartrain, and of course, the personal tale about Jean Lafitte and his fictitious offspring. The book also tells a heartwarming story from the prospective of a 30-something woman who is the proprietor of the Decator Street Guest House in the French Quarter of New Orleans. It is the author’s desire that all will be entertained, and will enjoy the stories for what they are, and take an inside look at the hopes, the dreams, the triumphs and the failures of his characters.
