Description

African American youth Curtis Jefferson is still serving his one-year term at Fort Grant, a penal outpost for boys-a place where a horrific massacre still haunts the inhabitants. In the second book of the Curtis Jefferson series, our hero continues to be challenged by a murderous fellow inmate, Harvey Huish, a torment that leads to a brutal confrontation. Meanwhile, in nearby Oracle Mesa, café owner Isabel Cienfuegos struggles with a premonition that her nephew, Ray, will be the victim of a treacherous plot. The parallel stories, related by the same storyteller, share a common theme: the curse of Fort Grant. Courses of the Cursed was named a finalist in the 15th Annual National Indie Excellence Awards.


Vince Bailey's award-winning Path of the Half Moon, the first book in the series, is a paranormal historical fiction tale set in a remote detention facility for wayward boys in the early sixties. Winner of the Arizona Authors' Association Literary Award and the Chanticleer International Book Awards for Paranormal and Supernatural Fiction, the Curtis Jefferson series presents an edgy and thrilling escape from the ordinary.

Reviews

Praise for the Curtis Jefferson series

"Bailey's voice sparkles in this gritty tale about injustice, survival, and the mysterious world of angry ghosts and dark magic. Don't miss it." -Todd Fahnestock (bestselling author of The Wishing World, Fairmist, and Wildmane)

"Curtis does what all great storyteller's do-he creates a suspension of disbelief, granting the listener the right to believe."

-5 Star Rating, Chanticleer Book Reviews
