Welcome to my tiny corner in the great big world of storytelling.

Good stories connect us—they help us remember, imagine, and hope. Those are the kinds of stories I strive to write.

As I build my library here, I hope you’ll find something that makes you smile, stirs your imagination, and reminds you of home with stories to curl up with, share, and pass along.

Thanks for stopping by. I’m glad you’re here.

🦞 Sashé Boudreaux

🏆 Winner — Eric Hoffer First Horizon and Commercial Fiction Awards

She delivers hot lunches, coordinates wardrobes, and knows everybody's business in Cypress Grove, Louisiana. But when a neighbor misses his Monday fried chicken and a grim discovery surfaces at the recycle drop-off, Sashé Boudreaux finds herself tangled in a mystery as dark and murky as the bayou itself.

With her friends beside her, she uncovers a tragedy that ties forgotten crimes to present danger. But in Cypress Grove, digging into the past can be deadly — and some will do anything to keep its secrets buried. Can Sashé untangle the truth before it claims another victim?
