A new book from a local author may warrant your attention for in-store a=
ppearances.

I will remind you that I am a five-time local author - I did Author Alle=
y a few times but have never had the privilege of a personal appearance =
at Loganberry. Now, along with Sagamore Hills restaurateur Mary Lynn Ran=
dall, I have produced a new book, via the popular "Images of Modern Amer=
ica" series from The History Press.

Entitled "Mardi Gras in Kodachrome," it compiles a long-concealed family=
 cache of previously unpublished color slides shot from 1950-1960 of the=
 New Orleans Mardi Gras celebrations. The pictures were taken by Mary's =
grandmother, the late Ruth Ketcham, and the History Press fell in love w=
ith them at first sight.

Many individuals took photographs of Mardi Gras, but usually on the prev=
alent and versatile black-and-white. It seems, however, that very few ph=
otographers tried Kodachrome, which needed precise exposure, bright ligh=
t, and a very steady hand. Ruth Ketcham=92s beautiful images of the masq=
uers and the colorful parading krewes are as vivid now as the days they =
were made.

The book may be seen as the =93light side=94 to my late-2017 book, =93Cr=
escent City Crimes: Old New Orleans 1718-1918=94 (Schiffer Books), in wh=
ich I had the privilege of retelling classic true-crime narratives of ol=
d New Orleans, from the folk-hero pirate Jean Lafitte (and his lesser-kn=
own brother Pierre) to the prostitutes of Storyville and the never-caugh=
t, almost supernatural serial killer dubbed the Axman.

The official street date for Mardi Gras in Kodachrome is Jan. 7. I hope =
you will consider setting aside a night to have us over and giving these=
 books a warm Yankee-carpetbagger welcome.

You may also find this notification in your regular e-mail; please pardo=
n the redundancy.
