It is the summer of 1977, on the cusp of a technological revolution that will soon cause the world to shrink. Seventeen year old James Earl Williams arrived in Natchez, Mississippi, looking forward to a new beginning far from the world of his New Jersey childhood.
After years of life in gang riddled neighborhoods and fast paced crime, life has come to a virtual standstill.
But all is not as quiet as it first seems. Supernatural forces are beckoning to James, searching for a treasure hidden deep inside him. The changes he expected when he arrived are far different from the transformations about to overtake him and his family.
His first surprise comes in the form of an annoying nightly sound - one that his grandparents dismiss as the natural decline of their aging homestead. The second surprise fits inside a pair of tight blue jeans, has bright blue eyes and long wavy black hair - Jolie Lefleur Dimanche. And she has had a dream impossible to ignore, one which lures her into a torrid relationship with James Earl.
Tormented by the past and present, love and hope will entice James Earl Williams into a dark place where dreams and premonitions come alive. One wrong decision could easily take him to a place of no return.

He was perfect in every definition of the word and instantly I felt the need to rise from my chair and jump carelessly into his arms like a child. His eyes found mine instantly- familiar eyes dark like midnight surrounded by skin like sand- rough and fighting to stay youthful. He took a staggering step, never dropping his eyes from mine and for a moment he was still like a lion in hunt, not even his chest moved to take a breath.

Midnight Mistress
"Sleep children or else the Midnight Mistress will capture you and lock you up inside her evil house." That's something all children of this small town near Karnataka grew up hearing instead of the standard warning of the boogeyman. The only difference is, unlike Boogeyman, there is a bunch of evidence regarding the existence of the Midnight Mistress. Some think she is a tale that the town's people came up with, but she is as real as you and me. This is the story of Tanuja Awasthi, one of the fortunate survivors who, along with her friend Jiya Samthan, escaped in one piece from the clutches of the evil spirit whose name is only enough to make anyone in the town running for their dear life. But what happens when the Midnight Mistress wants them back, or rather wants them dead? This story is purely fictional and any sort of resemblance to reality is absolutely coincidental.
