Hi everyone, 💛
Thanks for reading my late June edition of the Newsletter!
I'm so excited to share what's been happening lately.
A Fabulous June
This June has been absolutely incredible, the best ever!
I spent a good portion of it on a fantastic vacation, traveling from Oregon to New Orleans and back.

First, I went from Eugene to the beautiful Oregon Coast at Florence, then turned around and drove all the way south to visit City of The Rogue in the Valley of The Rogue State Park.

It was amazing to spend time with my mom, who hadn't been back to Oregon in seventeen years, as well as my brother, daughter, and son.
Turning 40 and New Orleans

While in New Orleans, I had the opportunity to celebrate a milestone birthday – turning 40! It was a wonderful experience to explore the Crescent City and soak up the unique culture and to pay my respects to my hero, Anne Rice by visiting her Crypt in Metairie Cemetery.

New Orleans, 1840s.
A time of glamor, intrigue, and danger. Antoine Louis Dumont, finds himself transported back in time in this vibrant city, where he witnesses a shocking crime occur in the most astonishing of places; a quadroon ball.
Antoine intervenes and saves the life of a beautiful, mysterious woman named Celine; immediately drawn to her, Antoine and Celine spend the rest of the evening in jovial camaraderie - quickly falling enamored with one another.
Awakening the next morning, Antoine rises to a nightmare - transported back to 2023, he is devastated to find himself alone in his own bed and frantic to find Celine again. With little information save Celine’s family name, Antoine seeks out ancestral knowledge of the Loa in a desperate attempt to find his beloved.
A tireless search ensues, and Antoine must face the prejudices of the past, along with the mysterious forces that seem to be the only clue to finding the woman fated to be with him.
