Overview

Cora Lee Baptiste, a beautiful Creole woman with dreams of growing a family with her loving husband, Leon, screams out in her sleep during a recurrent nightmare. Before leaving for work as a shrimper, Leon and Cora Lee make love in their modest, bayou cabin with the hope of her conceiving. However, their plans are greatly altered when on that wet and stormy New Orleans morning she crosses paths with escaped prisoner Colin Cyrus; a psychotic triple-murderer on the run.
Colin brutally rapes Cora Lee and kills Leon before he is shot by a pursuing Detective; Raleigh Spencer. But things get all the more despairing for the stunned Cora Lee. The rape, or their morning lovemaking, may have resulted in a pregnancy; but, the baby Cora Lee always wanted may not be hers to keep. And when New Orleans is thrust into a quagmire of absolute evil and suspenseful encounters with the supernatural, a determined and guilt-ridden Detective Spencer seeks to decipher the message being sent from beyond the grave. Finally, a question of faith arises for many as they seek to overcome the shroud of darkness that has enveloped their lives.

About the Author

Leamon E. Scott was born November 19, 1950 in Los Angeles, California. Growing up in Watts, he attended the public school system and developed a keen sense of creativity at an early age. Reading and writing became viable outlets in a neighborhood plagued with many social ills and inequalities. Leamon attended San Fernando State College during the socially turbulent sixties. A Seed for Cora Lee is Leamon’s first endeavor into “long-range” writing. He creatively poured his soul into telling the story in such a manner that the readers will what to know – what’s next?

Editorial Reviews

The horror starts from page one and continues until the final page. That's when I closed my Kindle, wiped the sweat from my brow and finally took a deep breath. The demon Colin (who starts out human, at least some form of human) should be listed as one of the scariest villains in literature history. A Seed for Cora Lee is not for the faint-hearted but I thoroughly recommend it for its roller-coaster of a read. The atmosphere is expertly delivered and I was intrigued by the Cajun

"A Seed for Cora Lee: A Pre-Katrina New Orleans Story" took me to a different place. It was a place that I knew little but it intrigued me nonetheless. The main character, Cora Lee, was complex and troubled with demons both real and imagined. The book was fast paced and kept me on the edge ---I read it page after page without putting it down. Go buy this book.

If you have ever been to New Orleans, this book takes you back; every character is visible. It is as though you are in the room with the characters.

The play between good and evil is also compelling. Additionally, the love and strength of family is very appare
