Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "If death had a face it would be hers." Alabaster Bayou is the story of a violet eyed creole vixen named Celestine Clemence and is set in World War 11 era New Orleans. Celestine is the illegitimate child of state Senator Dylan Vaughn, who is a rich political playboy who uses people to get whatever he wants including Celestine's Mother Mary Anne. After Mary Anne threatens to expose the Senator for his forbidden double life Dylan Vaughn kills Celestine's Mother to rid himself of the problem. This in turn sets her off on a revenge seeking path. After Celestine kills Dylan Vaughn she discovers that she has a passion for it and her purpose in life goes from seeking justice to killing for the satisfying thrill of it all. Celestine goes through emotional ups and downs as she dabbles in the dark arts and finally becomes the full-fledged killer she can no longer deny. This story is filled with an ongoing sense of cat and mouse games with her good side and dark side in a constant tug of war as well as dark secrets and forbidden passions. Alabaster Bayou gets up close and personal with an eloquent and very calculated serial killer who sees murder as a necessary art form. However when pieces of Celestine's art begin to surface from the dark waters of Black Water Bayou and Lake Pontchartrain her whole morbidly twisted secret life threatens to destroy her.

Download or read book Winding through Time written by Mary Ann Sternberg and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2007-04-01 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once considered one of the most important waterways in the American southeast and a vital link in a shortcut from the Mississippi River to the Gulf of Mexico, Louisiana's Bayou Manchac rests in virtual obscurity today. Few now notice the bayou -- which runs for eighteen miles, forming the boundary between several south Louisiana parishes -- or remember that everyone from French explorers and steamboat captains to modern-day loggers and fishermen have plied its waters and lived along its banks. Even fewer are aware that the bayou remains a place of striking, intense beauty in spots untouched by development and pollution. In Winding through Time, Mary Ann Sternberg interweaves the bayou's history with tales, anecdotes, and personal observations, creating an entertaining and educational introduction to this overlooked natural haven. With the tenacity and skill of a historical detective, Sternberg uncovers Bayou Manchac's rich and colorful past. She reveals that the waterway that most know only by weathered highway signs on the parish line served, several times in its history, as an international border, forming part of the northern boundary of the "Isle of Orleans." She recalls the flourishing Native American cultures that occupied sites along the bayou as early as 250 b.c. and describes the many unsuccessful schemes over the years to make it navigable and thus provide a major commercial artery connecting the Mississippi River with Lakes Maurepas and Pontchartrain. Bayou Manchac survives still, she shows, as a somewhat frayed relic of our natural past valued mainly for its drainage capacity and abused by polluters. More than simply an environmental history, however, Sternberg's Winding through Time offers her personal narrative of "discovering" Bayou Manchac a few years ago and her growing awareness of its untamed beauty, historical significance, and threatened well-being. She traveled the bayou, meeting some of the people who live along its banks and who shared many of their stories. Through her engaging prose and lively commentary, she succeeds in providing a life-history and, indeed, a personality, for this geographical feature. Sternberg shines a long overdue spotlight on Bayou Manchac, questioning how such a valuable resource could have become so diminished. As she eloquently illustrates, the wandering tale of this little waterway, though unique, also strikes a cautionary note for other small historic American streams.
