The Whistler
A Paranormal Historical Romance Thriller by A.A. Lewis
What happens when true love becomes the crime that curses your soul for eternity?
Set in the rich, mystical backdrop of late 1800s New Orleans, The Whistler tells the haunting story of Josiah Planter, a hardworking dockhand who wants nothing more than a simple life. Josiah’s world is upended when he falls for the forbidden Celeste Boudreaux, a captivating young woman from a legendary bloodline of conjures, whose roots predate the city's very name.
Drawn together by an undeniable force, Josiah and Celeste's love burns bright, but their passion defies powerful warnings and ancient magic. When fate takes a dark turn, Josiah is betrayed, broken, and cursed by the Boudreaux line, doomed to spend eternity wandering the French Quarter as something no longer fully human.
Now, part spirit and part incubus, Josiah becomes The Whistler - a soul-devouring entity who lures victims with an eerily seductive melody that sounds as if he's whistling your name. By the time you hear it, it’s already too late.
Bound by lust and tormented by the fading memory of love, Josiah searches desperately for a way to break the curse before he loses what’s left of his humanity. But with every passing year, the line between man and monster blurs.
Sensual, chilling, and steeped in the dark magic of New Orleans lore, The Whistler is a tale of love, betrayal, and erotic obsession that will leave you breathless and haunted long after the final page.

Late nights in Kalamazoo, Michigan, used to be quiet… until Strawberry Jones took over the airwaves.
As the smooth and mysterious voice behind 103.9 WZLZ The Blaze, Strawberry is the host of The Quiet Storm - a midnight radio show that blends sensual R&B with unfiltered, anonymous erotic confessions from listeners across the city.
By day, she’s just another face in a sleepy college town. But when the mic turns on and the red ON AIR sign glows, she becomes the voice of every fantasy, secret, and scandal nobody dares to say out loud.
Each night, she reads steamy, handwritten letters submitted to the station, true tales of passion, betrayal, and forbidden trysts. After each reading, callers light up the phone lines to rate the heat level, adding their own fantasies and flirtations to the mix.
But behind Strawberry’s velvety voice and seductive calm lies her own secret storm. What happens when one of the anonymous letters hits a little too close to home? When a familiar name slips through the airwaves? And what if the most explosive confession… is hers?
Turn down the lights, pour a glass of something smooth, and tune in to The Quiet Storm—where the slow jams are hot, and the confessions are even hotter.
