  From an American master and author of Winter's Bone, this dark tragedy tells of a deadly dance hall fire and its impact over several generations. Alma DeGeer Dunahew, the mother of three young boys, works as the maid for a prominent citizen and his family in West Table, Missouri. Her husband is mostly absent, and, in 1929, her scandalous, beloved younger sister is one of the 42 killed in an explosion at the local dance hall. Who is to blame? Mobsters from St. Louis? The embittered local gypsies? The preacher who railed against the loose morals of the waltzing couples? Or could it have been a colossal accident? Alma thinks she knows the answer—and that its roots lie in a dangerous love affair. Her dogged pursuit of justice makes her an outcast and causes a long-standing rift with her own son. By telling her story to her grandson, she finally gains some solace—and peace for her sister. He is advised to “Tell it. Go on and tell it”—tell the story of his family's struggles, suspicions, secrets, and triumphs.

  “Some cards you’re dealt. Others, you find.”

  In a hidden bar far from prying eyes, two cards sit between him and the past: the Ten of Diamonds and the Four of Clubs—keys to a puzzle he never knew he was part of. But it’s the card he didn’t expect, the Three of Spades, that starts the clock ticking again. 
  As old scars throb and new dangers emerge, Jack is drawn deeper into the Solitaire underworld. Every choice is a gamble. Every face hides an agenda. And the woman in red? She may not be who she seems. 
  The Three of Spades is a gritty, emotional chapter in The Solitaire Series, filled with buried secrets, brutal flashbacks, and the first flash of hope Jack’s had in a long, long time.

  Before an empire was forged in legend, a hidden resistance was born. In the shadows of Cyrus the Great’s rise, a secret Median brotherhood prepares to strike. But before they surface, one woman’s choices could alter everything. 
  Previously published as The Oracle of Delphi: That Which is Hidden. 
  Dive into an espionage thriller where the Magi operate in the shadows—not as mystics, but as political power players. 
  Thalia, High Priestess of Delphi, carries a terrible burden—one that could destroy the man she loves and shatter her own soul. Yet as she is drawn into the web of a sinister cabal plotting to assassinate Cyrus the Great, she discovers that her past and the present conflict are inextricably tied. In the face of betrayal, espionage, assassination plots, and ancient vendettas, Thalia must unravel the truth before it’s too late. 
  The Spy of Delphi: That Which is Hidden (Priests and Magi Book 1) is a gripping historical thriller of power struggles, secrecy, and survival. She escaped being High Priestess—but she couldn’t escape the forces controlling her. In a world of spies, political betrayal, and hidden agendas, freedom comes at a cost. Perfect for readers who love cloak-and-dagger intrigue, ancient thrillers, and the complex world of Greece and Persia. 
  I’m a classical archaeologist. This novel is plot- and character-based, with well-developed arcs, combining enigmatic mystery, espionage, and romantic threads against a richly researched historical backdrop. It’s grounded in scholarly work and carefully interweaves real events into the narrative with historical accuracy and depth. 
  Chapter One was originally written in poetic prose when the author was seventeen. Preserved in its original high quality form, it reflects the voice that first gave life to this world—before time, revision, and research deepened the rest.
