<< The Beatitudes is a paranormal thriller (this is New Orleans after all!). Social workers Hannah “Scrimp” DuBois and Earlene “Pinch” Washington start their own business, Social Investigations, to solve the murder of foster children in New Orleans. The NOPD, Catholic Church, and politicians have sidestepped clues. Pinch and Scrimp know they are dealing with paranormal forces that lead to The Beatitudes and the murderers. Each chapter of the book is named after a beatitudes: The Pure of Heart, The Persecuted, The Merciful, The Sorrowful, The Peacemakers, The Meek, The Poor in Spirit, They That Hunger After Justice.>>

My book, The Beatitudes, is a paranormal thriller set in New Orleans. It will be out in the fall and I am donating all royalties directly to the New Orleans Public Library Foundation. Libraries support the infrastructure of a great city, so I have started The Beatitudes Network to promote awareness of the importance of public libraries in NOLA.
The blogsite www.beatitudesinneworleans.blogspot.com describes the Network, has excerpts from The Beatitudes, recipes, and more. Merci mille fois. Lyn Lejeune.
Writers, please pass the word…..it’s for a good cause….don’t let the libraries of New Orleans or the US go the way of The Great Library of Alexandria. P.S. just posted an excerpt on my Crimespace page.
