God inspires Abbeville author to write 1st book

Vermilion Parish’s Katri Brasseaux wrote a book of short stories and poems titled “God Writes in Short Stories.”
The writer was raised in Henry and currently lives in Abbeville.
The book has 17 short stories and nine poems. Certain stories are true, and other stories are fictional. It was published through Christian Faith Publishing in January of 2022.
“I had a dream to write a book,” said Brasseaux.
She started writing 30 years ago and wrote about personal experiences with God.
“Most people tell me their favorite stories are Dream Awhile and One False Prophet; or that the book moved them,” said Brasseaux.
Brasseaux stated that God inspired her to write the book.
“I like all the stories for what they are,” said Brasseaux.
The last short story is about Bobby Charles. He was from the Abbeville area and was a famous singer/songwriter.
“Bobby called himself an inspirational songwriter,” said Brasseaux.
Some of his songs were “Swamp Pop,” “Walking to New Orleans,” “Last Train to Memphis,” “Not Ready Yet,” and “Before I Grow Too Old.” There are many more songs that he wrote and sang.
“Bobby received royalties for all the songs he had written, made lots of money, and left it to the New Orleans artistic community,” said Brasseaux.
“Lots of people tell me that the book is easy to read,” said Brasseaux.
The book can be purchased through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and herself at katribrasseaux@gmail.com.
