It's almost time for Halloween. Do you believe in ghosts? Do you love New Orleans? I certainly do and have visited this hauntingly beautiful and romantic city many times. The city has a rich history of ghosts dwelling in the French Quarter; so much so that guides even offer ghosts tours. Here are two very different ghost stories that take place in New Orleans and Louisiana. I think you'll enjoy both. Here's a warning: the second one is naughty; but the first one is nice.
I'll start with the PG-Rated one.
The Ghost in the Plantation:
A Nancy Keene Mystery
by Louise Hathaway
Do you like Nancy Drew? Do you like New Orleans? If so, you will enjoy this humorous and PG-rated story about a teenage sleuth that especially targets women baby boomers who grew up reading and loving the Nancy Drew series. Nancy Keene, the teenage sleuth in this story, goes on vacation with her father and friends to the French Quarter. What starts out as a sight-seeing trip changes into a murder/mystery when a docent at Oak Alley Plantation is murdered while they are there. Part travelogue, part ghost story, this book mixes voodoo, ghosts, and bayous into a spicy gumbo of a whodunit.
Next, is the XXX-rated one.
Storyville: A Time-Travel
Erotic Romance
by Maggie May
This time-travel erotic romance stars nineteen-year-old Roxie, a California girl who moves to New Orleans to start her life anew. Her apartment is on Basin Street, across from the famed St. Louis Cemetery, where one night she hears ragtime music emanating from inside. When she follows the music, she meets and falls madly in love with a sexy Creole man who transports her back to the days of Storyville, a red light district where he plays piano in brothels. He takes her to erotic worlds she never imagined, and suggests sexual experiences that test her. Will she go along with what he has to teach her? Will she overcome her jealousy and accept whatever he proposes? Because of its sexually explicit language, this book is for those 18 and older.
