NEW IBERIA, La. --- Join J. Dugar and her Affiliated Entertainment team on Sat., April 23 from 1 - 3 p.m in the gardens of the Shadows-on-the-Teche for a free book signing event.
Dugar will discuss each of her books and have a reading done by Houston actor Paul Ynfante.
Louisiana is filled with folklore — stories that our ancestors have shared from generation to generation. As the world has revolved into a tech-savvy era, our stories have taken a back seat to the hustle of social media platforms.
Dugar, who is of Creole descent, has put her own twist on these stories:
-
Kushmal, the monster who haunts children in their sleep if they misbehave;
-
Fille a La Cassette, a story of three sisters from France who move to Louisiana to fight vampires in New Orleans;
-
Voodoo Bayou, a story that shows the Louisiana culture of living on the Bayou cooking gumbo and fighting a bayou curse;
-
La Rou Garou, the bayou werewolf, her latest book, gives light and origin to a story that has taken on many forms.
The Shadows invite you to come sit down and enjoy the nostalgic atmosphere of our Louisiana heritage through the eyes of the author.
