New Orleans is unlike any city in America. Its cultural diversity is woven into the food, the music, the architecture - even the local superstitions. It's a sensory experience on all levels and there's a story lurking around every corner.

I'm a binge writer. I work in the music business fulltime, in artist management and developing songwriters and recording artists, and so juggling my job I carve out as much time as I can on the weekends.

I clung to books and words because, unlike people, they’d never abandon me.

I leapt eagerly into books. The characters’ lives were so much more interesting than the lonely heartbeat of my own.

Mileage doesn’t make the man.
