How Jade Calhoun Began
Deanna Chase, a California native turned Louisiana transplant, crafted the Jade Calhoun series inspired by the mystical allure of New Orleans. Launched in 2011 with Haunted on Bourbon Street, Chase drew on the city’s rich supernatural lore and vibrant culture to shape Jade’s world. Her love for paranormal romance and mystery shines through, creating a series that’s as much about personal growth as it is about magical battles.
The Heart of Jade Calhoun
The series kicks off with Haunted on Bourbon Street, where Jade, an empath, moves into a New Orleans apartment only to find it haunted by a ghost with a knack for shower interruptions. As she teams up with her sexy landlord Kane and friend Pyper, Jade uncovers her latent witchy powers to save Pyper from a malevolent spirit. In Witches of Bourbon Street, Jade embraces her magic to rescue her missing mother and Kane from a rogue angel, all while battling black magic temptations.
Demons of Bourbon Street sends Jade on a literal trip to Hell to save her ex, facing demons and angelic betrayals that threaten her soul. Later, Incubus of Bourbon Street sees newlywed Jade and Kane tackling an energy-draining crisis in the shadow world, with witches, incubi, and goddesses upping the ante. Themes of self-discovery, loyalty, and love weave through the series, set against New Orleans’ intoxicating blend of jazz, voodoo, and mystery. Chase’s fast-paced style and vivid characters make each book a page-turner.
