    About this ebook

    Vincent is desperate for a job, any job, so when Whiskey offers him a position tending bar, it seems like a dream come true. But Whiskey has a secret that shows up in the form of Joubert, a coffee-skinned, flirtatious slice of gorgeousness straight from New Orleans.

    Joubert has a message for Whiskey, one that Whiskey doesn't want to hear, but when the old darkness follows Joubert to the streets of Memphis, Vincent shifts to feline form-- and ruins his best shoes in the process.

    Whiskey has spent 20 years running from his past, now his past has caught up to him, and it may take Joubert and Vincent as prisoners.

    Finley Scott

    Finley Scott was born and raised in the American South, where the weather is hot and the music is hotter, where storytelling is a regional past time and people still believe in things that go bump in the night. Southern cities have a feel and a vibe all their own. The ghosts of the past still haunt the back alleys and waterways, and not-so-mythical creatures populate the cities- if you know where to look. If you're in Memphis, New Orleans, Atlanta, or Little Rock- you'll find Finley's characters, and sometimes even Finley herself, walking the streets, drinking a beer, or catching a show. So grab a glass of sweet tea, or something stronger if you're so inclined, and settle in. It's story time.
