Things are not always as they seem in The Big Easy...After her almost-wedding to a bigamist, successful children's author Braeden McKay has given up on love.

This is The Big Easy, after all, Mecca to the spiritual and the superstitious. As a veteran detective, neither does he ignore cold, hard fact. And the fact is, someone or something is bent on harming Braeden McKay, and it's up to him to protect her while keeping his heart out of the mix.Can love, the very thing Braeden wants no part of, be the one force greater than any adversary--even a hoodoo curse?… (meer)

Braeden McKay a popular children’s author and her friend, Angeline St. Cyr are in New Orleans. Unfortunately for Braeden being in New Orleans is not all fun as it is also a working vacation for Braeden. While out and about visiting different places in the Big Easy, Angeline takes a nickel from the grave of Simone Dubois, who was known for being a gypsy hoodoo woman. If only Braeden had known than what she knows now, she would have stopped Angeline from taking that coin. Ever since that day things have went wrong for both Braeden and Angeline fast. The only good thing to come out of the Big Easy is Detective J. Sanderson Montgomery. Montgomery and Braeden may not have met in the best of circumstances but the longer they spend time together the more their attraction grows. So will Braeden find inspiration in New Orleans or will the ghosts make her take of running? Who would have guessed that children’s book author, Braeden McKay would find herself in the middle of a mystery. I thought the storyline for Hoodoo Money played out very well. The character dynamitic were good as well as I felt the twists that were written happened in all the right places. What I also liked and think it helped with the story was the location of New Orleans. I would never have believed that Hoodoo Money was Sharon Cupp Pennington’s first novel, it was just so good. Sharon has definitely worked her voodoo magic on me. I can’t wait to check out Mrs. Pennington’s next novel. ( )

To Shelley, who inspired the story behind Hoodoo Money. To Jennifer, who made me believe I could write it. To Shawn, who has always been a loud voice in my cheering section. To my beloved Wayne, who worked long hours, kept this project solvent and never begrudged me yet another inker. To my sister, Linda, who would have been so proud.

“What do you get when you bite a ghost?” Braeden McKay managed a weak smile and whispered, “A mouthful of sheet.”

Would there ever come a time she didn’t feel compelled to get rid of nickels as soon as she got them? Probably not. With a protective hand on her belly, she leaned over the rail and tossed the coin into the listless waters of the bay.
