In my novel BATTLE KISS, I describe the six engagement of
the Battle of New Orleans in 1814-1815 as accurately as possible. But the book
is not just about the battle. It is about Lucia Rodriguez and Aimée Monlezun
and the men enamored of them – Matthew, Harold, Gérard, and Poul. It is about
free man of color Sam Catoire and his Tiffany, about US Infantry Capt.
Carmenbray and his Elizabeta. It is about the British Lowe brothers and master
spy Alicia Allenwood. It is a book about love and war. And in war, not everyone
survives.
BATTLE KISS is told from multiple points of view – American,
British, Creoles – through the eyes of women and men who are soldiers, seamen,
marines, pirates, free people of color, slaves, native Americans, Acadians.
It is about New Orleans and from where we came.
