MBB: Joe DiBari signs and discusses, Whispers of Eternity, Saturday, November 11th at 12pm.

Step into the ethereal world of Maison Dundee, the oldest and most romantic of New Orleans’ hotels. Novelist Roger Priestly checks in to attend a book signing. He has not produced anything of substance for a while. The poolside courtyard draws him in, inviting his search for the artist’s muse. He finds much more as the boundary between the living and dead becomes blurred. Roger encounters ghosts that ignite an extraordinary flame. Together, with the specters, they weave hauntingly vivid stories that bridge the realm of fantasy and reality.
