My relationship with New Orleans began with a job cooking in a cafe on Bourbon Street at the age of seventeen. My foodservice resume now includes many of New Orleans’ iconic music and dining destinations. I no longer reside in New Orleans full time but I keep to the expat creed of “Be a New Orleanian wherever you are.”
A devoted reader of detective and crime novels, I have worked as a chef on a boat traveling the inland waterways since Hurricane Katrina and began thinking up stories about a detective living in post-Katrina New Orleans, which I now write in my spare time.

I have a very detailed chapter-by-chapter synopsis when I sit down to begin writing, but what I find I have written may or may not follow it. I have learned to remain open to where my characters want to lead me, and so I very seldom run into writer's block caused by own determination to stick to the synopsis.
The few times I have been stumped, though, I have re-read the entire synopsis and then begin editing the last couple of chapters I wrote before I became stumped. Usually this will show me what my mental block is and present a means of getting around it. I always remember that I will be doing multiple edits to whatever I write, so just getting something on paper is all I have to do until the blockage falls away. I usually find what the problem in the story was once I have good material written on either side of the rough spot.(less)
