TRUE BLOOD meets THE ARTFUL DODGER_THE LEGEND OF VICTOR STANDISH!











M. A. Leslie (the writing team) has a great idea :

AN INTERNET BOOK FAIR!

http://maleslie1.blogspot.com/2011/10/internet-book-fair-blogfest.html

THE LEGEND OF VICTOR STANDISH!

http://www.amazon.com/LEGEND-VICTOR-STANDISH-ebook/dp/B005NCUTAG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319475381&sr=8-1

Think TRUE BLOOD meeets THE DRESDEN FILES meets THE ARTFUL DODGER.

Beware French Quarter nights. The shadows are hungry. You see, voodoo never died.

And the dead?

Here they do not always stay dead. They get hungry. And lonely.

Every city has its secrets. New Orleans more than most.

To walk its streets is to move through history : Lasalle. Orleans. Galvez. Lafitte. A street map is part time capsule, part history lesson. And all Death. She is waiting in every shadow.

New Orleans is the most haunted city in America where Voodoo was big business, slavery even more so, and no government official or newspaper dares to tell the truth.

No one talks openly of the misty figures seen walking along iron-laced terraces, casting no shadow. Of the shapes seen rising from sewer grates. And no one willingly visits the crypt of Marie Laveau at midnight.

Into this strange world arrives the street orphan, Victor Standish, from Charon's Greyhound. Charon has to keep up with the times ...

the End Times.

And the teen destined to be called the "Ulysses of the French Quarter" has come just in time for Hurricane Katrina, the End of All Things, and …

the deadly love of the Victorian ghoul, Alice Wentworth.
