Produktbeschreibung

The unkept crypts are swathed in lichen. The Spanish Mass blocks the pathways. On first new moon following Miranda's internment, the workers Albee hired were following her orders without complaint. "That one. Slide it down, the long ways." "Hey, Miss Albee, what is that guitar for? How come it ain't got no strings?" "Never you mind that. Put your shoulder into it, move that cover down, I need to open the coffin." "Hey, Miss Albee, is it true your mother was Marie Laveau?" "Who told you that?" "Everyone knows it, Miss Albee." "If everyone knows it, why are you asking?" The youngest of the three hired helpers spoke for the first time. "Who is Marie Laveau?" Using a prybar, she opened the coffin and pulled the wooden lid high enough to see the child's gray face. She was a beautiful child. ----- Miranda Everlasting is a collection of three short stories: Fò Miranda, Envie, and Gris-Gris.

Autorenporträt

Two people sparked my interest in reading in secondary school, high school for Americans, a close friend and an instructor.

The instructor took an interest in a boy he later called 'The rebel without a clue.' He was instrumental in learning the value of an enjoyable book.

The instructor required me to read exciting historical novels for academic credit. Frank Norris, Leon Uris, and Ken Follett inspire and fuel my love of history. My lifelong friend encouraged me to read J. R. R. Tolkien, and I became addicted to fantasy.

I was born to a military family. Following the military tradition was logical. However, after four years of "yes sirs" and scraping the wax off floors, I decided there must be more fun in a corporate career.

After forty-plus years of work experience across the globe, I landed in Colorado.
