Bold-Faced Lies, Tall Tales, and Delta Diaries

Award winning author and journalist Georgianne Nienaber focuses her investigative eye on the magic of the Deep South and the Louisiana Bayou country. Misfits, ghosts and Mother Nature herself have secrets waiting to be discovered. This is the world of the Cajun traiteur and feu follets, legends that blur reality and fantasy, and prove the spirit world is where truth resides. Saints, sinners, the innocent, the guilty and the wrongly dispossessed fight personal battles for salvation. You can find them in the cane fields, cemeteries, haunted houses and backwaters of the Atchafalaya Basin. Nienaber knows this haunted territory well and combines knowledge gained from mystical experience in the jungles of Congo to the mountains of Haiti and New Orleans' cities of the dead in three Delta stories that will force readers to question everything known as truth. Nienaber has earned the eponym “a living Avatar of the Atchafalaya Swamp,” and she does not disappoint. "Bold-Faced Lies, Tall Tales, and Delta Diaries" opens new and exciting territory for this writer.
