She had just finished writing Soul Kitchen when Katrina happened. Poppy Brite lives in New Orleans. She and her husband Chris (who is a chef) lost their house, etc. She started to write again there's a manuscript titled Shrimps Blues something but it's unfinished and is more Lenny centric but her editor didn't know what to do with Soul Kitchen and ended their contract IIRC. Poppy Brite has a new house but is still very fragile from what I can read on her livejournal. She hasn't really written much since Katrina.
