Diamonds of the Quarter Set for Fall Release

8/2/2018

The days of summer have flown by, but August has caught me like a kid waiting for Christmas! I am so eager to get  Diamonds of the Quarter into print, and more importantly, into your hands! It's an interesting book; humorous, heart-warming, but there are also creepy undertones which will keep you turning the pages. 

The story takes place in the French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana, circa 1965-1973; a pivotal time in our country as racial tension and desegregation efforts were underway. It was a time of protest, and uncertainty. Following on the heels of the assassination of JFK, burgeoning tensions in the Cold War, the awakening of the women's movement, equal rights--and of course,  political smoke rising over Viet Nam, Diamonds of the Quarter is a historical, entertaining journey. 

Diamonds of the Quarter is humorously told through the eyes of Randulet Thibodeaux, a scrappy Creole kid who witnesses the collision of two worlds; the lazy, southern chivalry of comfortable traditions, and the new-age necessity of stepping forward with vision, direction, and conviction. 

Diamonds of the Quarter is book one of The Improper Son series, and stakes a few ties into several of my other titles, including Beckon, Pirate Moon, and Veil of Azure Sequins.
