Cypress Hideaway -- Releases in October

Airboat swamp tour guide Josette (Jo) Breaux’s problem is choosing between Victor Blanchard or Bernard Bergeron until a peaceful Louisiana bayou turns deadly. Nature at her most dangerous. Locals say the bayou will heal you, if it doesn’t kill you first. Beware of lurking dangers, often more human than natural. Will Bernard’s shining brown eyes of love and the love of a golden retriever be enough with Cypress Hideaway, or will the bayou killer strike again and take away the choice of a lifetime?
This is the first novel in a new bayou series, but it may be read as a stand-alone. 
I dedicate this book to the people who live in bayou country and those who love to read about it. My deep Louisiana roots developed a love of the area. Born in New Orleans and reared across Lake Pontchartrain, I have always devoured books about the South. As an avid reader and lover as well as writer of such novels, I hope you will enjoy my bayou series titled Cypress Hideaway. There will be three books in the series, and this is the first one. It includes mystery, suspense, and romance.
