Death Wishing, by Laura Ellen Scott, is free in the Kindle store.Book Description
In post-Katrina New Orleans, dying wishes can cure cancer, eliminate cats, bring back Elvis (1968 vintage), and turn the clouds orange. Divorced and disgraced up north, Victor hopes to live a carefree, drunken existence in the French Quarter, making capes and corsets and lusting for the girl who lives across the street—until the hysteria surrounding "death wishing" changes his world in ways he never imagined.
