CRESECENT CITY BLOOD SAGA

THE CRESCENT CITY BLOOD SAGA

New Orleans has always belonged to those who understand its darkness.

For generations, vampires, immortal witches, powerful families, and ancient bloodlines have existed behind the wealth, politics, music, and violence of the Crescent City. Their wars are fought in mansions and back rooms, beneath cathedral shadows and along streets where history never stays buried for long.

At the center of the saga is a family bound by blood, betrayal, forbidden love, and secrets stretching across continents and more than a century.

What begins with the origins of an extraordinary bloodline grows into a struggle for control of New Orleans itself. Alliances shift. Families fracture. Witches challenge vampires. Old enemies return. Political power becomes as dangerous as supernatural power, and every victory carries a price.

There are no simple heroes or villains here. Those who appear monstrous may be protecting the people they love, while those claiming righteousness may harbor the darkest ambitions.

The Crescent City Blood Saga is a sweeping Southern Gothic supernatural series filled with vampires, immortal witches, family dynasties, political intrigue, forbidden relationships, revenge, betrayal, and a battle for power that spans generations.

Blood is family. Blood is history. Blood is power. And in New Orleans, every debt eventually comes due.

SOUTHERN GOTHIC

SOUTHERN GOTHIC STORIES

The South remembers everything.

Beneath the old houses, forgotten roads, dying towns, blackwater swamps, and mountain hollows are secrets people have spent generations trying to bury. Some belong to families. Some belong to entire towns. And some should have stayed buried.

These stories follow ordinary people caught in places where the past refuses to let go. Sheriffs uncover crimes everyone else has forgotten. Families inherit more than land and money. Old grudges survive the people who started them. Legends carry pieces of truth, and sometimes the things whispered about after dark turn out to be real.

Some stories are supernatural. Others are frightening because they aren’t.

Each novel stands on its own, with its own characters, mystery, and setting, while sharing the same dark Southern world of buried history, family secrets, crime, folklore, and the consequences that come when somebody finally starts digging.

In the South, the dead aren’t always the most dangerous thing buried in the ground.

WEALTH ACCELERATOR SERIES

THE WEALTH ACCELERATOR SERIES

Building wealth isn’t complicated. People make it complicated.

The Wealth Accelerator Series cuts through the noise, hype, and get-rich-quick nonsense to focus on what actually matters: understanding money, controlling risk, building assets, creating income, and allowing time and discipline to do the heavy lifting.

These books aren’t about predicting markets, chasing the next hot stock, or pretending there’s a secret formula that makes risk disappear. They’re about learning how money works and using proven financial principles to put it to work for you.

From investing and cash flow to options, compounding, risk management, and long-term wealth creation, the series approaches finance from a practical perspective built around one fundamental idea: you don’t have to get rich overnight. You have to stop doing the things that keep you from getting rich at all.

The goal isn’t to trade more, work forever, or spend your life staring at financial markets.

The goal is freedom.

Earn it. Protect it. Invest it. Compound it. Then let your money do the work.

THE RIVER RUNNER SERIES

THE RIVER RUNNER SERIES

Some boys grow up in classrooms. Others grow up along a river.

The River Runner Series follows young Jesse Calloway as he discovers a world beyond school, town, and the expectations of everyone around him. Drawn to trapping, fishing, wildlife, and the solitude of wild country, Jesse begins learning lessons that can’t be found in a textbook.

Along the river, every season brings a new adventure. There are hidden ponds to discover, mysteries to solve, storms to endure, animals to understand, and choices that test what kind of man Jesse is becoming.

With the help of old outdoorsmen, friends, and hard-earned experience, Jesse learns self-reliance, patience, responsibility, respect for wildlife, and the old ways of people who understood that the land could teach you something if you were willing to listen.

Set against the woods, rivers, marshes, and small towns of 1980s America, The River Runner Series is an old-fashioned coming-of-age outdoor adventure series about friendship, discovery, mystery, and growing up wild.

Before screens ruled childhood, there were rivers to run, woods to explore, and adventures waiting beyond the next bend.

MORE BOOKS FROM SHAIN HAGGADONE

Not every book fits neatly into a series.

This collection brings together a mix of fiction and nonfiction, from dark stories, mysteries, and supernatural tales to books about money, investing, markets, and building wealth.

The subjects may be different, but the approach remains the same: practical when it needs to be, entertaining when it should be, and never buried beneath unnecessary complexity.

The fiction explores people, places, mysteries, and the darker corners of human nature. The financial books cut through market noise and complicated Wall Street language to focus on understanding money, managing risk, investing with discipline, and building wealth over time.

There is no reading order and no single genre tying these books together. Each stands on its own.

Fiction, finance, markets, mystery, and everything in between. Pick a book and start wherever you want.
