FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Louisiana Author Curt Iles Releases Seventeenth book, One Night in Winterset

A Story of Redemption from the Author’s Beloved Louisiana Pineywoods

ALEXANDRIA, LOUISIANA — Award-winning Louisiana storyteller Curt Iles has released his seventeenth book, One Night in Winterset: A Story of Redemption, a heartwarming novella that celebrates perseverance, hope, and the life-changing power of kindness.

Published by Creekbank Stories, One Night in Winterset follows the journey of Luther Perkins, who looks back on his boyhood travels across America during the Great Depression. Leaving the Louisiana Pineywoods in search of work and a place to belong, the young man rides roads and rails across the nation before arriving in the Midwestern town of Winterset on a snowy December night.

Armed with little more than a faded photograph and a handwritten address, he knocks on a stranger’s door. What happens next becomes a defining moment that shapes the rest of his life.

“In the end, it’s always about the journey.”

Known for his warm storytelling style and deep affection for Louisiana’s people, places, culture, and natural beauty, Iles weaves a memorable tale of adversity, resilience, love, and redemption.

An eighth-generation Louisianian, Curt Iles has spent a lifetime collecting and sharing stories. Through seventeen books and hundreds of articles and blog posts, he has built a loyal readership by shining a light on ordinary people living extraordinary lives.

One Night in Winterset is available through Amazon in paperback, Kindle eBook, and Audible audiobook editions.

Readers can learn more by searching “Amazon Curt Iles Winterset” or by visiting Curt Iles’ Author Page on Amazon. Additional information about Curt Iles and his books is available at Creekbank Stories.
