Review "Cajun Moon is a riveting tale of one woman's journey through a family history, rife with ancient Cajun mystery and powerful human drama. This is a paranormal romance at its most thrilling."- Lynda Curnyn, author, Confessions of an Ex-girlfriend, Engaging Men, Bombshell and Killer Summer."Cajun Moon is a roller coaster ride through time, filled with engaging characters, diverse cultures, history and tradition."- Susie Radcliffe, Editor.
From the Author I am a Cajun so the story of Cajun Moon is based on the stories I heard from my mother, grandmother and great grandmother. When these three delightful women would get together at the kitchen table, their banter was a rapid-fire event filled with stories and laughter. My father was a a large animal veterinarian and would come home in the evenings with many tales of Cajun folk healing that he witnessed first hand. At an early age, I was always fascinated by the rich gumbo of my culture. When I began research for the book, I was granted a rare interview with a traiteuse, a Cajun healer. In the safe-guarded world of the traiteuse I found out that there are two deeply held rules; the art of Cajun folk healing is handed down from generation to generation and the healing practices are always kept secret. The element of voodoo that is sprinkled throughout these practices date back to pre civil war days when there were no medical doctors along the bayou and the folk healing practice of west African slaves was readily available. But the most incredible find for me was the discovery of a secret book, The Saint Suaire. Once endorsed by the Catholic Church by Pope Clement VIII, this little black prayer book was used as part of the healing ritual. When the the church retracted its endorsement, The Saint Suaire went 'underground' but continued to be used. It is still used today.I do hope you enjoy Cajun Moon. Dwaines Lawless
About the Author Growing up along the bayous of Cajunland, Louisiana native Dwaines Lawless was always fascinated with bayou tales of folk healing and voodoo. Lawless, like all Cajuns, loves a good story, except she took it one step step further by writing a chilling fiction novel about real-life stories and titled it Cajun Moon. The novel is a gumbo tale spiced with Cajun folklore, secret voodoo rituals and the mystery of dreams, especially the Cajun nightmare, the cochèmere. A BA from UL/Lafayette, M.Ed from UT, art educator, teacher of the blind, mother and grandmother, she currently lives in Austin, Texas with her husband John and returns to Louisiana as often as she can.

By Jan I'm pretty discriminating about books I review online--this is my first on Amazon. But I have to say, this book blew my socks off!! The first chapter alone was exhilarating, terrifying, consuming. The second chapter gave me a chance to breathe, but I was hooked. "Cajun Moon" takes the reader right to the heart of Southern Louisiana Cajun country and into the dark arts of "voodoo" (though I.m not sure that's the proper work for this particular spiritual practice). It's an amazing story of the spirit world and practices brought to Louisiana primary from Haiti. The author weaves a beautiful, colorful, and sometimes terrifying story of history, romance, intrigue, and love of family that takes the reader back and forth between the present and the past and into the spirit world of voodoo that exists somewhere in between. The author writes beautifully; it felt like the characters were alive and in front of me. Rarely have I read a novel that enraptured me as much as did "Cajun Moon".
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. A MUST READ BOOK! By Jane A MUST READ BOOK! From the first chapter to the last I was captivated by the intricate layers of story, history, human (and spiritual) dimensions that unfold. Looking for a novel unlike anything you've read before? Pick this up. Want something similar to what you know you like--a thrilling mystery? love story? historical fiction? Done, yes, absolutely! The characters come alive with each turn of the page (even if I'd prefer some of the more nefarious ones to stay two dimensional) and will quickly gather you into their reality. I am sad only that it's over, knowing that it will be a long time before I read another book this gripping, intertwined, with such dynamic charter development, and can only hope a sequel is coming out in the future.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Extraordinary; an affirmation of life and culture. By Susie Radcliffe Extraordinary. As editor of this novel by Dwaines Lawless, I have read it numerous times. With every read, I became drawn right back into the story again. It is such a well-written novel. Thank you, Dwaines. I am in love with all of her characters (good and nasty) ; I learned so much from her historical information, which I happen to know is very well-researched. Dwaines knew it already, yet she did her homework to confirm and add more information. I remain grateful for Cajun Moon -- it is a wonderful book. It deserves a second read, at least. I look forward to reading it again. My dreams, during sleep, remain very active. Susie Radcliffe
