About this ebook
"In a take-off of Southern gothic myth, intrigue and romance, J. Christian Enochs has written a work that combines all the strangest elements of the genre: part Tennessee Williams, Harper Lee, and Katherine Anne Porter ? with just a dose of Anne Rice thrown in for good measure ? The Last Beaufort is destined to be a New Orleans and Southern Classic."
-Garry Boulard, author Huey Long Invades New Orleans ? The Siege of a City, 1934-36
" Each chapter added layers of intrigue to the rich, sophisticated plot, and I found myself caring deeply about the characters. I became completely captivated with the author's descriptions of a very particular Southern experience. The novel made me feel as if I'd been given privileged glimpses into a secret society. Readers are going to have a great time."
-Tom Uskali, Louisiana Cultural Vistas
John Christian Enochs
The youngest of seven children, J. Christian Enochs was born in South Carolina. He spent his early childhood living with his parents and six sisters in Lexington, Kentucky?s historic Gratz Park within a rambling house built in the garden of Confederate General John Hunt Morgan, the ?Thunderbolt of the Confederacy.? After finishing prep school in Virginia, Enochs attended Transylvania University before graduating with a degree in history and political science from the University of Kentucky in 1989. Enochs then returned to his family home, Fernwood, in rural South Mississippi, where his family still resides. In 1990, Enochs moved to New Orleans to attend Tulane Law School, and was the editor of Tulane Maritime Law Journal. After practicing law on the Gulf Coast of Mississippi, Enochs returned to the Crescent City, where he works as a trial attorney with the law firm of Burke & Mayer. Enochs has written three novels, and his first novel, The Dead Files, will be released in 2006. Enochs? characters are drawn from the wide and diverse social circle that peppered his upbringing amidst the piney woods of rural Mississippi and the rolling Bluegrass hills of Lexington, Kentucky.
