EDITOR'S NOTE:You may be a faithful reader and know for the last three years, Killer Rubboard has been the site of three murder mysteries set during Mardi Gras Season. You can still find those past novels on this site. But for the 2007 Mardi Gras season, Killer Rubboard changes into something else -- a chance for other writers to pick up the pen and write about the season. As always, the Carnival Season begins on January 6th and this year ends on February 20th, Mardi Gras. This year, Killer Rubboard will bring a weekly offering of good and fanciful writing, including fiction, poetry, history, and of course, food, all to educate and enhance the Mardi Gras Spirit. Check in every Tuesday for a new edition, and remember, Laissez les bon temps rouler!

Nikki's Dress By Katie McInnis-Dittrich

"It don't remind me of Nikki's passing." Lily stated with a big smile on her face. "It reminds me of a day when Nikki was more beautiful than any girl in the parade; when there were no devil boyfriends or drugs or whorin'."
