My story took a turn for me somewhere in the middle of writing it, when I decided to let one of my characters be led to the great city of New Orleans. To me there is no better city to depict love, mystery, and spirituality than New Orleans, Louisiana. I fell in love with the city the first time I visited it in 2008. It has haunted me ever since. There’s just something about it that keeps drawing me back—whether that’s the amazing food, the music, the architecture, the history, or the energy of so many artists’ souls that linger in the background—it never ceases to envelope me in its warmth when I am there.
I’ve enjoyed several return visits to New Orleans. Each time I take my camera with me and spend countless hours photographing the French Quarter, the cemetery, and the Garden District. I have a treasure trove of photographs that I hope to turn into its own book someday.
New Orleans turned out to be the perfect backdrop for Hannah’s search for love in Where There Is Love. Because I have visited the city so many times since that first chance meeting I was able to see Hannah strolling through the streets experiencing the sights, sounds, tastes and interesting inhabitants. The character, Hannah, is a young woman who’s freshly out of college. Although far from naïve, Hannah has been raised in a pretty conservative atmosphere. I love the contrast between her character and the city of Voodoo! But does Hannah’s true love live in New Orleans or has her heart simply been manipulated? You’ll have the read the book to find out. After you’ve read Where There Is Love I’d like to hear your comments on whether I effectively brought you a little taste of my favorite city. It’s a magical place and it’s bound to cast a spell on you too if you ever dare to visit!
