Midnight Diner

Friday, May 29th, 2009

The “Back from the Dead” edition of Coach’s Midnight Diner is now available from Amazon.  Alongside fiction from Kim Paffenroth and Bob Freeman, you’ll find my future take on the 9th Ward of New Orleans.

The story, written weeks after Hurricane Katrina nearly destroyed the city, follows a young man struggling to survive a supernatural collision of past and present in a rebuilt neighborhood very different from the one he knew as a child.

Christmas in New Orleans

The release date for The Midnight Diner has officially moved to December.  I’ll post an exact date when I get it from the publisher, but I’m told you can expect to curl up with my tale of past and future New Orleans by Christmas.
