about this author
I'm the author of a new urban fantasy series set in post-Katrina New Orleans beginning with ROYAL STREET and RIVER ROAD, both coming in 2012 from Tor Books. Look for ROYAL STREET around April 10!
After living in New Orleans for many years, a couple of years after Hurricane Katrina I moved to bucolic (really) Auburn, Alabama. ROYAL STREET started as my attempt to come to terms with the Katrina debacle, but soon took on a life of its own. It has wizards, sexy assassins, undead pirates and other New Orleans royalty, some voodoo goods, a pretty Mississippi guy with dimples, and what I hope is a sensitive and truthful feel for the horror and strength of spirit that marked New Orleans in the post-Katrina months.
During my day job, I work as a magazine associate editor and nonfiction writer at Auburn University (but I went to the University of Alabama so Roll War Eagle Tide, or something like that--I consider myself bilingual).
I'm a member of Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers of America, a PAN member of Romance Writers of America (I love romance as long as one of the participants isn’t human!), and am a member of the Georgia, Southern Magic, and FFandP chapters of RWA.
