Christmas in Louisiana gets a new twist in book by a local author, with free signed copies being offered with the purchase of a po-boy from Melba's Sunday at noon.
"There Ain't No Reindeer on the Bayou" by Brandi Reynaud will be offered at the 1525 Elysian Fields Ave. restaurant until 1 p.m.
The story looks at what happens when Santa plunges into the murky south Louisiana Christmas Eve night and the reindeer get stuck. Reynaud's heroine, who happens to live on an alligator farm, has the answer.
The book is illustrated by Mary K. Biswas.
The author will be on hand to sign the books. Visit eatatmelbas.com.
