There are mysteries in every culture, and I was born into one with true magick at its core. Tracking the Grunch on the levees, holding seances on the bayous, and catching snakes in the swamps-this is what my childhood looked like. With every adventure came more wonder, and with every experience, more mysteries were revealed. This, for me, was growing up Creole in New Orleans. Created for members of my Conjure Club, the Anthology of Conjure Volume 1 contains a collection of articles, eBooks, and downloads I have written over the years about the folk traditions of my culture of origin.

In this episode our anti-anti-heroes are again messing with powers and circumstances that are out of their control. Neither of them and their minions are ever prepared for the intrigue and danger they encounter. But the oddity of their cases has begun to identify them. They can either run away and continue their careers with mundane assignments that neither pay the bills nor fulfill their thirsts for misadventure. Wait till you get a load of the ensuing episodes The second adventure involving Denise Delgardo and her misanthropes defies the usual private-investigator tale. As all her assignments begin, she's following a spouse suspected of infidelity. And as all her assignments soon morph, she's up to her symbolic and literal neck in danger unimagined vis a vis time travel to a very scary time.
Denise started out in a world where the newspapers were underground, families bolted metal doors shut at night to keep the zombies out, and eating out of a tin can to candle light was considered a good hearty meal. It was all she ever knew, but it didn't stop her curiosity, and she was constantly getting in trouble for sneaking out into the city alone to spend hours sitting in the old boarded up city library looking at pictures of Hollywood movie stars and of a world she didn't recognize. Now imagine not being able to die while also having the ability to control the very monsters you once ran from. Crazy right? Well welcome to Denise's world.

Denise Scott Brown is best known as part of one of the most acclaimed architectural partnerships in modern architectural history, Denise Scott Brown & Robert Venturi. Together with Venturi, she ran the firm Venturi, Scott Brown & Associates (VSBA). Their architectural and urban planning designs, theories and publications caused a revolution in the world of architecture. Their most famous theoretical work, co-authored with Steven Izenour, Learning from Las Vegas, became a global phenomenon that marked the 20th century. Scott Brown & Venturi were also a married couple. However, in the traditional male-dominated architectural world, men were automatically put in leadership positions while the role of women was always underplayed, although they worked in equal partnership and made the same contribution. The role of Denise Scott Brown in joint projects, in the eyes of the public, was for decades diminished, while Venturi was brought to the forefront and celebrated as a genius. She never received due recognition for her work.This book is entirely dedicated to Denise Scott Brown and gives her the credit she deserves. It informs readers about her life, analyzes her projects in both architecture and urban planning, and offers a better understanding of her theories. The seven chapters provide a comprehensive insight into the world of legendary Denise and complete the knowledge necessary to understand her as a true and authentic diva of architecture, an innovative urban planner, theorist and passionate professor. Chapter 8 is a comprehensive conclusion that rounds off the monograph through a shorter review of numerous topics covered in the previous chapters. At the very beginning of the book is a letter that Denise wrote to the author. Her words are an authentic testimony of her life after 1967. The book is richly illustrated with a total of 274 photographs, urban planning layouts and various project illustrations.
