6. I recently found a new author who has turned into a favorite....

James Lee Burke, his main character is a New Iberia Parish Sheriffs Detective, a man who grew up as described in this post...his dad built his house in the thirties and it has withstood the storms. This Spill really breaks my heart knowing more about the Delta Region and Bayou Tesch having read four of his works. This is some of the Best Crime Fiction I have read, and I have been at it for TEN YEARS or more. The books rock, but to get the full effect, get them on Disk, the voice actor is Will Patton who brings Dave and his pals to LIFE. My favorite is "The Tin Roof Blowdown"...the story line revolves around when Katrina hit the Lower Ninth...fourteen disks!
