Raquel Clairvoux is taken through he history of her family
and her relationship to a distant aunt the legendary Swamp Witch Angelique
Clairvoux, a mullato girl born in the swamps of southern Louisiana and raised
by her grandmother in the ways of Voodoo that she learned on the island of
Martinique. Raquel learns the history of the region and culture of the original
Creole people of Louisiana and her family. When slave catchers came into St
Martinsville to collect undocumented people of color Angelique was attacked and
mortally wounded flees into the swamp with her life savings she calls on the
Spirits to guard her and her savings. Raquel then learns about the men who men
over the next century and a half try to find Angelique's treasure and how they
trigger the curse that finally brings them down. She is taken through the
history and evolution of a unique culture and historic area of the country and
must decide how she and her family fit in there now. While this is a story of
pure fiction the author did exhaustive research of the area covering the years
between 1712 and the present. The town of St Martinsville is an actual town in
St Martin Parish, Louisiana and the Bayou Tesche is located there. St
Martinsville was a town that was open to free people of color during the time
of slavery and is considered to be the Creole capital of the United States.
This book is a work of fiction that mixes historic fact and culture to
transport the reader through decades of drama in an evolving southern
Louisiana.

Author:
I was born and raised in a small town in rural southern
Illinois. I have always had a love of reading, writing, and history. My first
love was Gothic Romance, then Gothic Horror, in high school I read Dune and
fell in love with Science Fiction, after high school I picked up a Darkover
novel by Marion Zimmer Bradley and fell in love with Fantasy, now I read
everything I can get my hands on by James Rollins or Steve Berry. As you can
see, my reading has been all over the map. I would like to think that my
writing has been inspired by them all.
I wrote and published my first novel, The Legend of the
Swamp Witch, this summer. I am currently working on a project called The Soiled
Dove Sagas about young women who find themselves making their livings as
prostitutes in the 19th century Old West.
With my first book I realized, writing is not the hard part,
Marketing is.
I have been struggling with different marketing techniques.
Hopefully, I will find one that works very soon!
