Happy to know about your book.  I'll be one of the shoppers.   There is also 
a series, now up to three, set in Storyville, main character a  private 
detective to Tom Anderson.  Book one, "Chasing the Devil's Tale"  fictionalizes to 
add to fact about Buddy Bolden's life ending in an  asylum.  Book 2 is Jass.  
Book 3 is Rampart Street.  Author is  David Fulmer.  I enjoyed them.  Available 
and described  further on Amazon, etc.

I don't  know whether this would be of interest to members of this list, but 
I had a  novel published last year called "Four Bar Tag."  Set around 1980, 
the  book has a slue of OKOM history mixed in with a story about a reporter  
researching a story on trad jazz. In the course of his work, he discovers a  
college student who plays trad on soprano sax and sounds remarkably like a  
legendary jazz musician who died in the 1934 Morro Castle disaster.  The  reporter 
finds that the kid was taught by his grandfather and he begins to  suspect that 
the grandfather is the legendary jazzman who escaped the disaster  and has 
been hiding out from a murder charge for 40+ years. 

The book  has been no challenge to "The DaVinci Code" but it is available on 
Amazon and  Borders Books on line. I used the pen name J. D. Bryce when it was 
 published.

I debated with myself about mentioning the book to the DJML,  but Dave 
Littlefield (El Sheik) said it would probably be okay to do so.  So................
