Spanning from 1507 to 2026, Roots in the Mud is a witty, satirical work of comic historical fiction narrated by a five-hundred-year-old Southern Live Oak anchored on a crescent bend of the Mississippi River.
From early indigenous portage paths to the questionable French decision to build a capital in a swamp, the oak witnesses the full, chaotic arc of New Orleans history. Accompanied by a cynical tree frog named Clovis and a nervous screech owl named Barnaby, our leafy narrator offers a front-row seat to category-three hurricanes, devastating city fires, pirate battles, yellow fever epidemics, Union gunboats, early jazz sessions, Mardi Gras bead showers, and the catastrophic floodwaters of Hurricane Katrina. Sharp, absurd, and surprisingly heart-filled, this novel proves that while humans build, burn, and rebuild, nature keeps the receipts.
