Getting ready for NaNoWriMo 2024
​
With Robicheaux Bayou Book 1 completed last year, and Book 2 nearly finished, I am ready to get started on Book 3 for this year's NaNoWriMo.
Still have work to do!
Book 2 of Robicheaux Bayou, "The Lights of Langlois Landing," is still in draft 1, but almost completed. This has been much fun to write!
GREAT FLOOD OF 2016 BOOK IDEA
​
While coping with the aftermath of a historic flood that has greatly affected many of my friends and family here in south Louisiana, I realize how unlikely our story will be told, given its abysmal handling by the media. They say if you want something done, do it yourself. So I will. My first nonfiction, "High Black Water," is going to be a work in progress for some time as I record the recovery process down here.
​
UPDATE 2/11/17:
The book will be called "High Black Water" and has begun! There is much research to do, interviews to take of survivors and volunteers, and photographs to collect. This will be my first nonfiction book!
