Best selling author of COLDIRON

April - 1862

With the Union Navy pounding at its doors, the time has come for the people of Confederate New Orleans to choose sides - and go to war.

From the narrow streets of the French Quarter to wind swept Lake Ponchartrain and the vast bayou country, the battle of New Orleans plunged men and women into chaos, tragedy and a struggle for survival and revenge.

Luke Coldiron came from the New Mexico territory to New Orleans with 250 horses to sell as mounts for the Confederate Cavalry. He found the city overrun by Union forces, a beautiful woman driven by fury, and an act of treachery that would pit him against a renegade Union marine commander.

Susan Dauphin watched her world, created by generations of labor by her family, go up in smoke and flames. Driven into a struggle against the marauding Union marines, she would earn one man's hatred, and another's undying love.

Marine Commander Rawls landed in New Orleans from Admiral Farragut's Navy flotilla. Ripping into enemy heartland, he broke the Confederate hold on the city, and began a dirty private war of murder and theft of his own.
