But tonight, all of her problems are going to disappear when she sees Jake Turner and his band play live at Graffiti’s Battle of the Bands. Cass knows three very important facts about Jake and this night: 1. She loves Jake Turner. She’s loved him since she was five years old and he moved in next door. 2. Nobody has ever been cooler than Jake Turner. He’s perfect boyfriend material to complement her brand new rebel without a care reputation. 3. Jake Turner will erase every bad memory of this year and give her the happily ever after she’s secretly always longed for. If only she could find him. And talk to him. If only she could get Troy Cameron to leave her alone. Just because they sit by each other in English 101 does not mean they’re friends. Or that she thinks he’s hot.

21 Steps
The hardest part of committing a murder is getting away with it, especially when the case is assigned to a detective who is a relentless pursuer, a half-Cajun, half-Sioux investigator at the top of his game. The body of an elderly woman is discovered stuffed into her closet in her uptown mansion. Initial investigating officers find no leads, no suspects. NOPD Homicide Detective John Raven Beau focuses all of his senses, takes the necessary steps to determine time of death, cause of death, manner of death and most importantly, who killed her. The pursuit is methodical and calculated by a man who is a natural hunter, a man born and raised on a swamp, a man whose ancestors’ war cry echoes in his mind. Beau does not need to put on war paint to become a plain warrior. Woe-be-tide the killer. John Raven Beau is on the trial. If you enjoyed this story and would like to read more adventures of Detective John Raven Beau, you’ll want to read the new novel JOHN RAVEN BEAU and the short story collection NEW ORLEANS NOCTURNAL.
