About Me

Novelist, screenwriter, journalist.
♣ ♣ The Oyster Dancer ♣ ♣
"A lyrical, satirical look at race, religion, and sex in the new South."
New Orleans, 1913:
After running afoul of religion and a razor, Cora embarks on an odyssey into Cajun country to work for Miss Godd, an eccentric with a dark past of her own.
Against the backdrop of a bayou town and the secret lives of its people, Cora settles into a new life until her past comes home to roost.
A scarred stripper at war with God... a voodoo priestess in a funk... a menopausal belle trying to resurrect her dead lover... a lonely killer who hugs victims to death...
... an unforgettable cast of characters in an irreverent tour de force.
