Set in the 1830's Creole community of New Orleans, "L'immortalite" takes readers on a journey with Philippe Bertrand, a reclusive lay sacristan who lacks compassion for others after the death of his wife and mother. He is led to a mansion owned by Madame Delphine Lalaurie, and there, he meets a young slave named Elise. The events that follow result in the slave's escape, the discovery of macabre medical experiments in the mansion's attic, and the intervention of Voodoo Queen Marie Laveau.
The paperback format of this book has been recommended by top-rated haunted tours in New Orleans and was shown at the 2013 HWA-Bram Stoker Awards weekend. The growing popularity of the book's title characters bring thousands of New Orleans visitors each year to view "haunted" Lalaurie Mansion and the tomb of Marie Laveau.
Heinan hopes readers will gain a deeper understanding of New Orleans history while enjoying the ride he takes them on through Philippe's meditative quest for eternal life. The book is illustrated by Hollywood artist John Weston.
"L'immortalite: Madame Lalaurie and the Voodoo Queen" is now available in Kindle format and is free to Amazon Prime users.
