This book combines the present day Bayou Beni series, with the historic As It Could Be series. (Only one book in the historical so far, but there is a series in my head.)
I announced on Facebook yesterday, no sales yet, but hopefully soon.
Here's an excerpt:
As the Mass ended and the congregation departed, Rosadel looked around for
Bee as soon as she exited the church. She didn’t have to look for long, because
the triplets spied Bee and started running. “Nanny Bee! Nanny Bee! We have an
uncle. His name is Danny!”
Bee crouched down to hug the girls. “Well that sure is exciting! Have you seen him yet?”
“No, Nanny,” answered Lou. “He was just born last night. We are going to Grandma Harriet and
Grandpa George’s for breakfast and then we get to go meet him.”
“He and Gee-Jay have to stay in the hospital for a few days,” added Rosie.
“But not because there is anything wrong, just to be careful,” clarified Grace.
Bee stood up and hugged Rosadel. “Congratulations, Big Sister. I bet you have pictures already.”
As Rosadel reached into her purse to get her phone, Harriet tapped her on the shoulder.
"We’ll see you at the house in a few minutes.”
“Thanks, Momma Harriet. We won’t be long.” Rosadel turned to greet Marie Theriot.
“Hi Mrs. Theriot. I won’t keep Bee long, I know you two have a breakfast date.
But I want to show her a picture of my new baby brother.”
But I want to show her a picture of my new baby brother.”
“Oh! Jessie had her baby?” Marie was excited to hear the baby had arrived.
“Yes Ma’am. Last night. Daniel Fergus McPherson. Jessie and Danny are both doing fine.”
“Well, that is wonderful news, Rosadel. Please give Jessie my best wishes when you see her.”
“I sure will, Mrs. Theriot. Here you go Bee, this is Danny.”
Bee looked through the pictures on Rosadel’s phone and then handed the phone to Marie.
After oohing and aahing and exclaiming what a beautiful child Danny was, Rosadel,
Clancy and the girls headed to Harriet and George’s house, and Bee and Marie headed to breakfast.
