The Keepers of Faubourg-Marigny, Part I

The Keepers of Faubourg-Marigny, Part I, by Kristin Kulzer, free

In Part I of The Keepers of the Marigny-Faubourg, when Alene decides to spend her summer break in New Orleans working at a busy bar to overcome her broken heart, she never expects to meet a handsome, charming gentleman like Perrin Boudreaux.  Everything about Perrin is a mystery, from his old-fashioned clothes to the priceless coins he leaves as tip at the bar. But Alene’s never fallen in love like this before. Even though the further she digs into Perrin’s past, the more terrified she becomes, she can’t help but feel an undeniable connection to him and want to know more.  Evidence suggests that Perrin was a Civil War soldier who tried to stow away aboard a pirate ship that sank over a century ago, and neighborhood legend has it that souls lost in that historic shipwreck roam the Faubourg-Marigny District in search of young maidens, referred to as Keepers, to lure down to their watery graves. Could it be possible that Perrin’s a supernatural being, or is Alene losing her mind?

2066

2066, by Peter A. Brandt, free

Simon Camp was never thrilled about living underground during this ice age but when the old shaman came to town and instructed him to take a journey on the earth's surface to find his daughter, Simon knew his life would change forever. 

The summer’s cold wind blasted in Simon’s face as he stepped out onto the front porch, turning to make sure the door was closed tight behind him. Heavy clouds of putrid yellow rippled across the sky, like the famed northern lights, which no longer appeared to delight and awe those lucky enough to see them. The wind, cold and foreboding, made the summers unpleasant. Simon’s mother told him of summers she enjoyed camping and swimming at the lake. Simon shuddered. At minus 16 degrees, the thought of swimming in the lake seemed downright absurd. Of course before the deep freeze set in, anything was possible.
