Embark on a Soulful Journey Through the Heart of Creole Life Step into a world where the rush of zydeco rhythms and the simmering pots of etouffee tell a story deeper than words could express. "Bayou Born: Exploring Creole Identity" is a captivating expedition through the vibrant history, culture, and heart of Louisiana's Creole population. A mesmerizing tale that untangles the rich tapestry woven by generations who've danced by the bayou under the moonlight's mystique. Delve into the Origins and Evolution of a people whose roots intertwine with the very beginnings of America. From the earliest days when European, African, and Native American lives collided and combined, a new identity burst forth. This identity, resilient and defiant in the face of time's relentless march, has continued to evolve, providing an invaluable lens through which to view the past, present, and future. Whisper the Language of the Bayou, where words carry the weight of ancestral connections and the pride of a distinct community. Understanding Louisiana Creole French isn't just about translation; it's about embracing a linguistic heritage that echoes through the streets of vibrant neighborhoods. Savor the succulent Culinary Traditions that make Creole cuisine a metaphor for the melting pot culture. Each signature dish, with its historical roots, stands as a testament to the ingenuity and spirit of the Creole people--a cuisine crafted from the soul of diversity itself. Feel your feet tap to the Creole Music and Dance, an explosive expression of joy and pain through the ages. Discover how the notes of accordions and the soft swaying of dancers are much more than entertainment but a lifeline to bygone days. Embark on the enticing voyage through the pages of Bayou Born. It is not merely a book; it is an experience that allows you to touch the spirit and resilience of Creole culture. A culture that continues to thrive and influence far beyond the whispers of the bayou. A journey full of flavor, folklore, and the pulsating energy of a people forever intertwining their legacy with America's narrative.

"In the tradition of the modern classics The Tender Bar by J.R. Moehringer and The Liars' Club by Mary Karr, Blaine Lourd's Born on the Bayou is a powerful gothic memoir set in the bayous and oil towns of 1970s Louisiana. Coonass: [koon-as] (noun, slang, from the French conasse), a term of endearment and an expression of cultural and ethnic pride. So echoes this all-important definition throughout this good-humored memoir of growing up in the South. A rollercoaster rags-to-riches story, Blaine Lourd's meaningful debut is both a nostalgic send-up of '60s and '70s Louisiana, and a heartfelt portrait of one family's coming of age. In honest, confessional prose, Born on the Bayou transports us to a pocket of the South where Lourd learns how to be a man from the two people he looks up to the most: his larger-than-life father, 'Puffer, ' a prominent figure in the oil business (coonass translation: awl bidness), and his successful older brother, Bryan. With an eye turned perpetually toward the gruff and distant Puffer, Lourd illustrates how those closest to us can cause the most hurt, even as we seek their approval. Whether he's learning how to skin a duck at age ten, enjoying his first beer at thirteen, or detailing the finer points of ride-on lawn mowing, Lourd gets to the heart of being a Southerner with rawness and grace. From his early childhood through his eventual pilgrimage to the West Coast, he beautifully details what it means to have tangible roots to a place so ingrained it is a part of your own being. From barreling down the low country roads in a shiny Thunderbird to chasing women and learning to be a gentleman, Born on the Bayou is one man's struggle against the forces of family love, loyalty and obligation, and the ties that keep us tethered to our roots no matter how far we run. As the saying goes, 'a coonass always goes his own way'"--

What would he sacrifice to save his pack? Dominick Meyer has finally accepted his role as Alpha of the Dog River Pack. He's found the perfect woman to fight by his side. But, after a revelation by Wynonna Riggs in Steelshore, Nick must defend his pack against his sister. Being the Alpha means sacrificing for his pack. He never imagined the things he could lose to maintain the level of protection his pack deserves. With his mother attacking many fronts, Nick must contend with a group of mysterious stones that have appeared in the swamp along with a curious visitor. Throw in a trickster and a willful lavender-haired witch and he's got a mess on his hands.

Experience has taught him beautiful women are high-maintenance trouble and Branna fits that type. He is happy to avoid her until the college vice president assigns him to mentor the newest hire--Branna. Branna is on her way to a new life, but will the scars of the past send her running from love? Even if she stands her ground, can she convince James that she truly is his "type"?

A fantastic new cozy mystery series with a vintage flair from USA Today bestselling and Agatha Award–winning author Ellen Byron. Twenty-eight-year-old widow Ricki James leaves Los Angeles to start a new life in New Orleans after her showboating actor husband perishes doing a stupid internet stunt. The Big Easy is where she was born and adopted by the NICU nurse who cared for her after Ricki’s teen mother disappeared from the hospital. Ricki’s dream comes true when she joins the quirky staff of Bon Vee Culinary House Museum, the spectacular former Garden District home of late bon vivant Genevieve “Vee” Charbonnet, the city’s legendary restauranteur. Ricki is excited about turning her avocation – collecting vintage cookbooks – into a vocation by launching the museum’s gift shop, Miss Vee’s Vintage Cookbooks and Kitchenware. Then she discovers that a box of donated vintage cookbooks contains the body of a cantankerous Bon Vee employee who was fired after being exposed as a book thief. The skills Ricki has developed ferreting out hidden vintage treasures come in handy for investigations. But both her business and Bon Vee could wind up as deadstock when Ricki’s past as curator of a billionaire’s first edition collection comes back to haunt her. Will Miss Vee’s Vintage Cookbooks and Kitchenware be a success … or a recipe for disaster?
