Testimonials:
“The Houma Jambalaya Jubilee is one of the nicest events an author will ever attend. The library itself is gorgeous, but nothing to compare with the feeling one has arriving, taking part in, and even leaving--some of the magnificent hospitality offered here comes home in the heart. From the moment your plane lands, this is a special occasion, with amazing organization, attendance, and care given to every detail. Actually, leaving is hard to doI think a part of you remains as well. Truly amazing, something I wish I could look forward to every single day!” Heather Graham, New York Times Best Selling Author
"The Jubilee Jumbalaya Writers Conference and Book Fair in Houma may be small, but it is without a doubt the most fun of any conference I’ve ever attended and at $25 a head, it’s also a steal. Because it’s so much fun, and because Molly Boldenco-owner of Bent Pages Bookstore and one of the sponsorsis such a hoot, they never have trouble attracting scores of great writers.
Steve and I kicked off the weekend with dinner Friday night at a restaurant in a big old house overlooking the Intercoastal
Waterway. The writing life doesn’t get much better than this: great food, a warm salt-laden breeze, and hours and hours spent
talking and laughing with F. Paul Wilson, the incomparable, irrepressible Molly, Heather Graham and her ever-entertaining husband,
Dennis, Hollywood screenwriter and novelist Alexandra Sokoloff, and more. If only I’d thought to bring my camera" C.S. Harris, aka C.S. Graham
“Jubilee Jambalaya is a first-rate writers' conference and a wonderfully unique one, as distinctive as its locale. I was
