This is my newest book, an atmospheric novel of love and hate; of Haiti’s long-smoldering societal and class conflicts; of the magic that reigns over the everyday lives of Haitian natives; and of the unseen forces that draw human beings together. This novel combines revenge, murder, mystery, and magic into a compelling brew. Find out more now or purchase a copy at:
