Book excerpt: The power I have over death–to connect our world with the Otherworld–isn’t a gift like I was led to believe. It’s a curse. I still don’t know how my unique “gift” as a blood witch works and have no idea how to protect myself. Which is exactly what I need to do when I step outside of my family’s magically protected home and find myself a magnet for the dead. Now with only a clue from Gram-Gram to go on, I’m on a mission to find a man I’ve never met and who no one has seen in ages: my Grandpa. That is, if the French Quarter witches and vampires don’t stop me. Turns out they don’t want to, though. Not when I could inadvertently lead them to the key they need to control the city. I can’t do this alone, but only the dead can help me piece together these clues. Worse? The only soul among them who holds the answer to my search is a dark and unholy spirit, equally bent on destroying me. This fast-paced, action-packed, young adult, paranormal coming-of-age adventure, about a New Orleans, magical bloodline family is ideal for fans of The Originals and Charmed.

At the age of twenty-three, she fulfilled societys expectations and married. But Rob was a mystery to her, and she to him. They didnt even argue. Years passed. With two children, their life had stabilized when they met Piers and his wife, Chloe, recently arrived from England.

Chloe Cassidy has fallen out of love with love. Which, for a wedding planner, is a highly inconvenient turn of events. When her longtime sweetheart jilts her at the altar Chloe's belief in happy-ever-after disappears along with her groom. But this attitude has her business suffering as much as she is.

Barbara's gift for storytelling holds in the written word just as it does before a television camera."-Phillip J. Jones, former secretary, Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism "A personal, anecdotal narrative that paints events with evocative descriptions . . . best savored in slices-it serves up a great bedtime read."-New Orleans Times-Picayune Based on the PBS documentary of the same name that aired across the country, The Haunting of Louisiana highlights many of the stories that would not fit into the one-hour television program.
