Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The world's last authentic overnight wooden steamboat, the Delta Queen cruised America's inland waters from 1927 through 2008, offering passengers breathtaking views, luxury accommodations, rousing entertainment, and southern-style feasts. For over eighty-two years, chefs in the small galley served memorable meals—from fried chicken and crawfish en croûte to strawberry shortcake and beignets. The Delta Queen Cookbook brings the Delta Queen's story to life with an engaging historical narrative and over 125 recipes prepared by the steamboat's former chefs during their tenures in the cookhouse. Nobles traces the story of the "Grand Old Lady" as she faced remarkable social, economic, and political challenges. The Delta Queen became a haven for illegal drinking during Prohibition, and she survived the effects of the Great Depression, World War II, and increasingly modern and sophisticated competition. Despite the obstacles, this flapper-era boat always found a seamless way to coddle passengers with cozy staterooms and delectable fare. Each chapter ends with authentic Delta Queen recipes—including Citrus and Watercress Salad with Chili Dressing, Roast Duck and Wild Rice Soup, Speckled Trout Pecan, Eggs Crawkitty, Steamboat Pudding, and more—proportioned and tested for home kitchens. The Delta Queen Cookbook includes interviews with former crew, chefs, and passengers; over ninety historical and full-color photographs; and vintage and modern menus. History buffs, steamboat lovers, and home cooks alike will revel in the memories and tastes that make the Delta Queen one of America's best-loved national treasures.

Book excerpt: More than 30 years ago, Walker Raines lost the woman he loves. Now he has clandestinely orchestrated what he hopes will appear to be an accidental meeting in very romantic circumstances: aboard the beautiful Delta Queen during a leisurely four-day spring cruise from New Orleans to Natchez. He has chosen the setting very carefully. This stately steamboat has been a dynamic symbol for both of them all their lives. Now it will witness their reunion -- and the secrets that have kept them apart. The Delta Queen is a National Historic Landmark, a 70-year-old steamboat that sails the Mississippi River and its tributaries. Not a reconstruction, she is the genuine article, a sternwheeler that has worked these rivers for half a century. Being aboard is like visiting in a fine old Southern home, where the parlors are filled with brass and crystal, mahogany and Old English oak, where the meals are legendary, a rocking chair is always available and the company is genteel. Walk her decks with us now, while the journey is under way. Hear the towboats whistle as she goes by. Pilots sometimes even lean out their doors and shout, "Helllllo to The Del-ta Queeeeen!" They love her out here, because she is a working girl. They know her from New Orleans to Minneapolis/St. Paul, from St. Louis and Louisville to Cincinnati and Pittsburgh, from Galveston and Little Rock to Memphis, Nashville and Chattanooga. And yet she seldom stays anywhere more than a few hours. She is always on the go, from Louisiana ́s Bayou Country to the icy northern reaches of the Canadian border. No wonder they flirt with this tough little prom queen. She has won the hearts of millions. And she has witnessed countless love stories in her travels. This is but one of them. Delta Queen: A Novel, produced by Bowen Books, is a contemporary, intelligent love story in the new tradition of Bridges of Madison County, The Notebook and A Message in a Bottle. Readers who liked those books will love this one. And for anyone who has ever been a passenger on The Delta Queen, or who has always dreamed of being a passenger, this story is for you.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An amorous encounter in the Big Easy leads to a steamy riverboat ride in this Americana romance from the legendary New York Times–bestselling author. Discover romance across America with Janet Dailey’s classic series featuring a love story set in each of the fifty states. One of America’s most beloved romance writers, with more than 300 million books sold, Dailey continues her Americana series with a visit to New Orleans, Louisiana, and a romantic journey down the mighty Mississippi River. Selena Merrick, an Iowa minister’s daughter, is letting loose on her New Orleans vacation—perhaps too loose. When she jokingly quotes a price for her services to a group of drunken businessmen who mistake her for a “lady of the evening,” Chance Barkley, a handsome nearby stranger, takes her very seriously. Cutting their encounter short after only a few furtive kisses, the stunning redhead can’t help wondering what she missed by abandoning the manly, muscular, and ever-so-persistent Southerner. But after boarding the famed Delta Queen riverboat, she gets another chance at Chance—who happens to be a fellow passenger.

Book excerpt: En s'enfuyant de chez lui à l'âge de treize ans, Joseph n'a qu'un rêve : naviguer, en compagnie de riches planteurs et d'aventuriers, sur un des légendaires bateaux à aubes qui descendent le Mississippi. Il a tout pour réussir : l'intelligence, le courage, la générosité et, surtout, la détermination. Mais en 1860, quand il s'embarque sur le Delta Queen, c'est un monde lézardé qu'il découvre : Abraham Lincoln vient d'être élu président des Etats-Unis, et l'Amérique s'enfonce vers la guerre de Sécession qui va la diviser en deux blocs de haine aveugle. Le navire, marchand le jour, casino la nuit, lève l'ancre pour un ultime voyage. A bord chacun devine, du passager de première classe au soutier, que le Sud se prépare à l'affrontement. La frénésie se déchaîne et les passions se donnent libre cours. Superbe et comme indifférent, le bateau traverse pourtant l'enfer, de port en port. Et, malgré l'effroi qui ne le quitte plus, Joseph va jusqu'au bout de ce voyage au coeur des ténèbres. Delta Queen est le roman d'un fleuve, la métaphore d'une Amérique toujours en quête de lointain, le roman de ces capitaines, seuls maîtres après Dieu, à bord de leur navire, le roman d'un temps et d'une époque, ceux de la Guerre de Sécession.
