About the author
Diana K. Schwam is a writer, strategic communications consultant, and a New Orleanian by choice from decades back. She can often be found in the city’s music, food, and cultural havens and hovels or exploring its lesser-known and unfolding corners in Miss Gulch— her green, two-wheeled pothole-dodger. Diana has infinite love for New Orleans—its folks and its ghosts; its eccentric elegance and eternal mysteries; and its tellers of tales and truths: They are as warm and essential to her as its spring air. She’s not much of a dancer but claps on the twos and fours. Usually.
Lavinia Spalding is series editor of
The Best Women’s Travel Writing, author of
Writing Away, and co-author of
