    About this ebook

    Blurb:

    Keith and Maria Leagues are a loving couple enjoying a vacation in the vibrant streets of New Orleans. While on a voodoo tour, instead of having lunch with the rest of the group, the couple ventured off to a shop that wasn't part of the tour. While there they are encouraged to buy an ancient relic that will help them get a better perspective about the opposite sex. The next day Keith and Maria find themselves trapped in each other's body until that goal is achieved. 

    Will they survive their ordeal with a better understanding of their spouses' differences after, literally, walking a day in the other person's shoes?

    As a young child, I wrote Hickory Dickory Dock type poetry as I doodled all over my papers in school. I still don't know which I did more, but by Jr. high school I wrote more than doodled and even got up the nerve to enter them in a contest or two. But it was my short stories that took all my time and energy.    I showed a few to my friends and they had me doing weekly installments of a story and had passed it around the lunch room. During the 80's; when I was in High School, I tried my hand at rapping. Rap Music was just a toddler with the arrival of the Sugar Hill Gang a few years back and everyone wanted to Rap. So with my 'crew' The Puma Fly Girls, (come on, you had a weird crew name too), we rapped and I wrote the rhymes for myself as Shorty Dee Ski and for another of my girls in my crew. (Don't Laugh. If you are a child of the 80's you were some kind of 'ski' too.)    In 2003, I picked up my pen again and I haven't put it down. Come along for the ride as I go on an imaginary trip into my world. You'll enjoy every minute of this wild ride.

      Chapter One

      A nd here, the old guide started with a heavy Cajun twang, is what some claim was the last home of Madame Marie Laveau herself, he finished gesturing towards a large brick house draped in bright green ivy. She was known to move about Louisiana, not one to be tied down, I suppose, but she died right here in this home. The people continue to give tribute to her even after her death more than twenty years ago, he added with an obvious nod toward the pile of dolls, flowers, wine bottles and rotting food left at the gate of the large house.

      Why would people want to leave offerings at her home, Mr. LeBlanc? someone in the group asked.

      Well, she was known to be a voodoo woman. She would curse anyone that did wrong on her block. I guess people figure if they leave the offerings, it would be something to keep her happy rather than upset her spirit, he answered with a shrug. You do best to stay on a voodoo woman’s good side, eh?

      A chorus of ohs and head nods went through the crowd
