Banjo: A story from Hot Nights in the Big Easy

Life for Kenny Somerton had just begun. Recent college graduate who snagged his dream job and had been sent to attend a business meeting in New Orleans. A place at the top of his bucket list. What was even more fortuitous was this year his birthday fell during Mardi Gras. How could he not fly in a few days early to celebrate?

The streets were packed, and the bars filled to the brim. It took forever to get through the line to get a drink, and by sheer luck, he snagged a barstool at the same time. Ah, now he could relax and listen to the band play. Their sound was so surreal, so alluring, and Kenny swayed to the music.

Shadow Wraith. The name ghosted through the air and there he was.

Banjo.

An unforgettable first time. Though one sultry night was not enough with Mister Right.

Hot Nights in the Big Easy is a multi-author collection of stories written during our author retreat. So sit back, relax, and enjoy New Orleans with our boys.
