The literature often considered the most American is rooted not only in European and Western culture but also in African and American Creole cultures. Keith Cartwright places the literary texts of such noted authors as George Washington Cable, W.E.B. DuBois, Alex Haley, Zora Neale Hurston, Ralph Ellison, William Faulkner, Joel Chandler Harris, Herman Melville, Toni Morrison, and many others in the context of the history, spiritual traditions, folklore, music, linguistics, and politics out of which they were written. Cartwright grounds his study of American writings in texts from the Senegambian/Old Mali region of Africa. Reading epics, fables, and gothic tales from the crossroads of this region and the American South, he reveals that America's foundational African presence, along with a complex set of reactions to it, is an integral but unacknowledged source of the national culture, identity, and literature.

Welcome to Lemon Bliss, Louisiana where an abandoned lemon tea factory is the most happening place in town and witches secretly rule the roost. Violet Broussard is busy, really busy. She’s running her bakery with her bestie and spinning in circles trying to get up to speed on her, ahem, powers. Life has been a bit crazy all on its own. Throw in Gabriel who’s too handsome and charming for his own good, and she’s juggling a lot. Despite the madness, she’s discovered Lemon Bliss just might feel like home. On an otherwise uneventful day, a supernatural investigator turns up dead after a night at the defunct lemon tea factory. Though Violet thought the old factory would be the death of her, instead it’s been the death of two others. Things get really crazy when it turns out the poor guy died of poisoning from a plant well-known for its use by witches in days gone by. Violet’s suspicions are spiked more than her grandmother’s lemon tea when she finds her mother and the other older witches snooping about in the factory at night and removing items. With the supernatural investigators determined to find ghosts in the factory and another mysterious death, Violet is thrown into the middle of the investigation. Again. Breaking and entering has become her go-to power because it’s easy-peasy for her. It’s all in the name of justice, right? Meanwhile, the supernatural investigators are talking to non-existent ghosts, the lemon trees are blooming out of control, and the older witches are making mischief to throw her off the scent. Loopy lemon tea, witches and wackiness abound in this cozy mystery.

"Ray Celestin skillfully depicts the desperate revels of that idiosyncratic city and its bizarre legends in his first novel."—The New York Times Book Review The Axeman stalks the streets of The Big Easy... New Orleans, 1919: In a town filled with gangsters, voodoo, and jazz trumpets sounding from the dance halls, a sense of intoxicating mystery often beckons from the back alleys. But when a serial killer roams the sultry nights, the corrupt cops can't see the clues. That is, until a letter from the Axeman himself is published in the newspaper, proclaiming that any home playing jazz music will be spared in his next attack. Three individuals set out to unmask the Axeman: the police detective in charge of the official investigation, who struggles to find any leads; his former boss, newly released from prison and working with the mafia; and a secretary at the Pinkerton Detective Agency who stumbles upon the clues that could change everything... A chilling and atmospheric serial killer mystery inspired by a true story, The Axeman brings to life the vibrant, volatile New Orleans of the Jazz Age, filled with as much desperate ambition as utter fear.
