She Walks on Gilded Splinters-Local Author Delves Into Mysterious Life of New Orleans Voodoo Queen

Nov. 21, 2011 - PRLog -- She Walks on Gilded Splinters is the never before told story of Marie Laveau, her life and legend uncensored. Marie Laveau lives today. She is immortal, time and disease will never claim her.

Marie Laveau is recognized as one of the most influential women of 19th Century North America. Her life and legend have been clouded in mystery, often misrepresented by the prevailing white conception of voodoo as a cult of exaggerated superstition practiced only by blacks.

Mysterious, bizarre murders are occurring in 1990 New Orleans. The deaths seem to be linked to Marie Laveau, the authentic voodoo queen of 19th century New Orleans. The police are in a desperate race to find and protect potential victims…including one of their own.

This exciting novel explores 16th century Africa to New Orleans, Louisiana in 1990, with a riveting opening chapter in Selma, Alabama on March 7, 1965. Marie Laveau learned early that racism is a chronic cancer. Her story takes the reader down a road built by racism, and the horrors inherent.

SHE WALKS ON GILDED SPLINTERS is available in hardcover (ISBN: 978-1-60693-464-7, $28.50) and softcover (ISBN: 978-1-61897-009-1, $16.50) and can be ordered through the publisher’s website: http://sbpra.com/GeneDwyer or at www.amazon.com or www.barnesandnoble.com.
