Wilson Jackson Author Interview

Once Upon a Time in the Big Easy follows a former hitman down to New Orleans as he tracks a kidnapped girl trapped in the underworld of human trafficking. What was the inspiration for the setup of your story?

I wanted him to have a challenge of being a hero and not only saving a young woman but taking down a disgusting scoundrel.

Was there a reason why you chose this location as the backdrop for your story?

New Orleans is such a mysterious city, historically with voodoo and the bayou in its landscape. Made me think of intrigue for the readers.

Can you tell us more about what’s in store for Chubby Pone and the direction of the next book?

Consequences is the next adventure for Pone as he races against time to save his handler, who was poisoned by a bullet and is in a deep coma. He tries to find the culprit and a cure.
