Lorraine Allen Tours

We are OVERJOYED and humbled!

Our book release was 6 days ago and it Ranks #3 for the digital version of New Release French Cookbooks!!! The paperback format ranks #7 and the hardback ranks #14. Never in our wildest dreams did we think it would be top ranked under cookbooks.

It's really a dark romance novelette with a side dish of culinary.

Thank you to all of the Lorraine Allen Tours FB friends who have purchased, "Dinner with a Vampire, a Taste of Immortality".

We're 1 away from selling 400 copies in 6 days! Could you help us get over 400?

Since the passing of Lorraine Allen almost 5 years ago, her daughter continued to serve over 150 of her clients cruising to international locales. Then the pandemic occurred shutting down all travel as we all quarantined.
Since then, there have been world political issues and wars. Many travelers opt for more domestic experiences.
Lorraine Allen Tours has ceased to offer Group Travel however, Lorraine's daughter and her husband offer to take you on a different journey through the pages of "Dinner with a Vampire, a Taste of Immortality".
You be captivated with vivid descriptions of deep south Louisiana, New Orleans (Lorraine's birthplace), and Paris. It's a dark romance with a culinary twist. Two books in one with an appendix of French recipes and wine pairings.
Please consider putting this on your bookshelf...it's a great summer read!
