Splintered: A New Orleans Tale

Keaton Fordyce was once a celebrated and prosperous write, but the excesses accompanying his success came at a steep cost—the loss of his family and his career. Living in a dingy river-front room in Natchez, Mississippi, Fordyce is caught in a vicious cycle of alcoholism and despair. As fate would have it, an old friend offers him an opportunity to help get his life and career back on track. He owns an old mansion in New Orleans that he can’t sell because of its reputation as being “haunted.” If Fordyce will live there for a month, alcohol free, and disprove the curse, he will get the help he needs to get him back on his feet. Accepting the offer, Fordyce prepares to face his inner demons. Perhaps he should have prepared for much, much more… Award winning Mississippi novelist Brandi Perry is the author of Wayward Justice, A Whisper on the Bayou, The Jury, and Buried Cries among other books.
