Avah LaReaux visits the Cafe!

A saga fiction writer, Avah LaReaux has a talent for penning stories that focus on the lives of everyday people while conveying messages of empowerment, optimism, and inspiration. Beginning her writing career as a poet, Avah first realized her love for the craft as a youth. Since that time, Avah has transitioned from poetry to novels and yet maintains the same passion for writing as she had as an elementary school poet.

In 2002, Avah began writing her first novel, Bastards, and found the characters of the novel to have "lives" of the own. From this novel, Avah's debut release, What's Done In the Dark, as well as what has become the Lost & Found saga series was born. In April 2008, What's Done In the Dark breathed its first breath and was subsequently re-released with an alternate ending in May 2009. Currently, Avah is preparing for the October release of the third installment to the Lost & Found series, Bastards, as well as the December release of Sugar and Spice: An Anthology for the Grown & Sexy.

Publishing under Blue Planet Publishing, the imprint owned by her and her husband, Avah strives to produce works that are relevant as well as entertaining. Avah's work and prose has been featured in various anthologies including In-Between Days and Under A Quick Silver Moon in the United States and abroad in the United Kingdom in the anthology Theatre of the Mind.

Song of the Siren Synopsis:

Distracted by years of abuse and racial bigotry, Renee Toliver emerges from her ashes to find happiness miles away from her family farm and the dark secrets that have been kept hidden in a barn. But when Renee finds solace in her new friends, friends her father would never approve of, will she cower under his lies or rise like the Phoenix she is? Soon enough, Renee finds that it is true that the forbidden fruit is always the sweetest and resisting temptation isn't in the cards for her. If only the Oracle could have shown her the dangers of engaging with jealous men. As lies unravel and careers end abruptly, Renee is forced to face the truth of her actions and the devastation it promises to bring.

Her latest novel, Song of the Siren and is available online at retail book sellers including Amazon & Barnes Noble as well as on my website (http://www.avahlareaux.com/) and Blue Planet Publishing (http://www.bppbooks.com/).
