Jolie Bourque is trying to finish her thesis and get on with
her life. She wanders into Folette,
Louisiana, a place plagued by ghost sightings, convinced they are all
crazy. No one wants to help her, no one
except Hutch Landry and his brother Tucker.
Will she find the monster that is preying on the town's
children? Can she stay sane surrounded
by madness?
What are her ties to the small town? How will she choose between the brothers?
This is the nightmare that is her life and all just a part
of Becoming Jolie.
About the Author:
Monique is the mother
of two beautiful children and lives in a small community outside of Baton
Rouge, Louisiana. She currently works full time as an insurance agent, but her
favorite jobs are mother, wife, and author. On her ninth birthday, her mother
bought her a journal and said, "Write whatever you want. Just write".
And so, a love affair with words was born.
She wrote poetry and short stories in high school and
college, until 1993 when her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer. After her
mother's death in 1998, deep in depression, she found herself unable to write.
Nine years passed, and only on rare occasion did she attempt to write. Finally,
in 2007, under the urging of friends,
she sat down and pecked out her first novel. It was raw and unpolished, but the
process had been unquestionably cathartic.
The next three years were spent filling her hard drive with
seven complete manuscripts. At the beginning
of 2011, Monique decided it was time to edit the work and share it with
the world. She hopes you enjoy the ramblings of a truly southern girl raised in
a state rich with heritage and love.
In June of 2011 her first book, The Keepers, was published
by Astraea Press and it has been a world wind of excitement ever since. Please check out her website and feel free to
contact her at any time via her email, facebook, or twitter.
