About the Book:
Do you believe in the power of dreams?
Way down south on Marigny Street in the heart of
New Orleans, the land of Catholic intercessions, purgatory, and supernatural
superstitions, young Evangeline Chenier dreams of a radiant boy who saves her
from a storm. She takes the dream seriously – in her family, dreams are sometimes
more than dreams. Sometimes they foretell the future. Sometimes they create
it.
Years later, Eva is no longer the same wistful girl but a hardened woman who no longer believes in dreams. Losing faith in her gift, she becomes lost in a nightmare of emotion, mourning her son, separating from her husband, and stewing in a dead-end job. And then fate brings her an unlikely surprise: one of the most famous movie stars in the world, Gabriel Roberts.
Caught by something in his eyes, Eva agrees to show him the real Big Easy on his last night in New Orleans—an evening that turns into four dreamy days spent recapturing lost faith and discovering a love neither expected. Realizing Gabriel is the boy from her childhood dream, Eva must leave everything behind—her husband, her family, her history, and the beautiful city she calls home—and gamble it all for the dream that has saved her on MARIGNY STREET.

Excerpt:
I shook my head. “Tell me, Gabriel, what
are your dreams about?”
“Nothing. I never dream.” He shrugged.
“Never?”
“I’ve never once in my life had a
dream. And I never look in a mirror – or
I try my hardest not to anyway.”
“Why?”
How could you never dream? Or
look in a mirror?
He sighed. “I believe the only things in this life that
can truly show your reflection are the things you love the most in this
world. And I don’t love myself enough to
want to look in the mirror.” He
laughed. “But when I look at you I can
see myself perfectly. And even though I
never dream, I do pray. Do you want to
know what I prayed for before I met you?”
I nodded.
“I prayed for an angel – to save
me. I asked for a little help from up
above, and now you’re here. You are cake
and ice cream; sugar and spice, and everything nice. And when you smile, you make me feel the way
the world looks when the sun shines through a foggy day.”
All I could do was smile.
Born
and raised in New Orleans, Annie has a habit of shortening her words and
telling long stories. She speaks with a southern flair and cooks with it too.
At the tender age of twenty- one, she hitched up her wagons (took her first
plane ride) and moved out west to the big shake (California). Her writing
career began one sleepless night when she imagined a gorgeous woman and a man
with maniacal hair floating above her like lightening bugs falling from the
sky. Curious about them, their story, and why they were floating around in her
head, she sat down and penned (typed) her first novel, Marigny Street. A dream
come true for her, she hasn't stopped writing since. She loves a damn good love
story, always has, no matter what the genre. She is particularly moved by
imperfect love that in its own unique way is perfect, the notion of love at
first sight, soul mates, and things that are generally out of the norm.
When she's not writing she enjoys dabbling in photography and finding new, inspirational music to add to her collection. She currently (still) resides in the big shake (although her southern roots are calling her home) with her husband, daughter, and their two peculiar dogs, Boudreaux and Tabasco (who, call her crazy, bark with an accent).
