A new collection of short stories from the author of Obscure Reflections at Dawn.-There is a murder of crows flying over the graveyard. One such creature separates from the group and spirals downwards to land on a massive conifer. The blackbird squawked twice, seeming to direct our attention down. Far off to the left, up closer towards the building, a small gathering of mourners comforts each other amid flowers meant to convey joy. Though, they are only beacons of haste today. One man stood by like a baroque statue, unshakable in his reserve. Held in his embrace, was a woman in mourning. Like a thing carved, he gazed down at the gravestone with eyes wide and dark grey from wear.Let's move on. These moments are not ours to share in.In the same cemetery, and under the same azure sky, that lone crow regarded two brothers, both undertakers for the Sunset Hills Memorial Home, who were finishing up their break...Jack Clubb is the author of Obscure Reflections at Dawn and Promises Decay & Other Monstrosities. Besides writing horror and dark fantasy, he is an award-winning tattoo artist. While attending Denver, Colorado's first annual tattoo convention, he won best of show on the very first day. Jack lives in Granite City, Illinois.

"Everything about your life is my concern, Mr. Robb, including your betrothed."Boston, 1793-Now engaged, Molly Chase and new federal intelligencer Josiah Robb want nothing more than to settle into quiet married life-or as quiet as life can be when one is hunting down a ring of traitors among Boston's elite. But the plan has one glaring flaw: Molly herself, and the madness that has plagued her since her father's death. Until Molly proves herself an asset rather than a liability, Josiah's investigation cannot move forward.Intelligencer Eliza Hall thought she had left her troubles behind in Philadelphia long ago. When she is sent back to follow a suspect, she's ready to acknowledge the truth and make her peace-except that the man she loves, who doesn't know about her past, is assigned to come with her. Now she must outwit her fellow spy and closest friend, lest he hate her for what she had been, while they maneuver to prevent Revolutionary France from dragging the fledgling United States into a war it cannot afford.Both women are in search of a safe harbor. Little do they expect the winds to blow them into the most tumultuous waters of all-back home.Advanced Praise"Weaving a captivating tapestry of history and storytelling, Rhonda Ortiz deftly builds the tension in her second Molly Chase novel, Adrift. Brimming with insight, action, and intrigue, the story fully immerses the reader in the uncertain early years of our nation and the lives of a compelling cast of characters. The satisfying ending hints of even more excitement on the horizon-a brilliant and edifying historical read!" - Stephanie Landsem, author of Code Name Edelweiss "'First comes love, then comes...' a scintillating spy plot, perduring mental and emotional trauma, deep spiritual questioning, and, of course, romance. With Adrift, Ortiz provides a stirring sequel that weaves together historical detail and psychological complexity in a cloth as intricate as any from Penelope's mythological loom." - Eleanor Bourg Nicholson, author of Brother Wolf and The Letters of Magdalen Montague"Full of espionage, political and social intrigue, with historically accurate details, Adrift is the exciting sequel in a series sure to have you looking at American history with fresh eyes and interest. Ortiz delves into the racial, social, religious, and mental health struggles of the time with a deft hand that leaves you aching for better for the characters but in awe of their struggle to rise above, all while serving their country. It is a must read for fans of historical novels." - Crystal Caudill, author of Counterfeit Faith The second installment in Rhonda Ortiz's Molly Chase series, Adrift, is a veritable ocean of intrigue, espionage, and swoonworthy romance. This impeccably researched adventure brings eighteenth century Boston to life in the little-known-to-me Federalist period of American history, and compelling character arcs kept me turning pages far into the night. Fans of Josiah and Molly will find much to love about the continuation of their story as well as a new equally riveting pair to root for. I'm already eagerly awaiting the third book in the series! - Amanda Wen, author of Roots of Wood and Stone

The day of President Kennedy's assassination, the Dallas Police discovered a rifle on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, they identified the rifle as a German Mauser rifle. Three days after President Kennedy's assassination a young twenty-year-old named Harry L. Power walked into the Terre Haute House, in Terre Haute, Indiana. He had no luggage, although he did carry a long paper package and according to FBI reports, a Young Communist League Card in his wallet. He registered at the hotel giving a San Antonio, Texas address. Two days later the maid found that he had left behind a 7.65 Argentine German Mauser Rifle, Model 1891. At the time, there were two very prominent CIA guys who were from Terre Haute. William King Harvey oversaw the Mafia and the anti-Castro Cubans trying to assassinate Castro. Bill Harvey's Cuban agents discovered the missiles going into Cuba. Harvey should have been hailed as a hero, but unfortunately Bill Harvey and Robert Kennedy were not getting along and Harvey's career and position in the CIA suffered greatly as a result. William King Harvey is on the record as saying he, "hating Bobby Kennedy's guts with a purple passion." Some speculate that Bill Harvey was responsible for the assassination of President Kennedy. Was this rifle left in Terre Haute as a calling card from Bill Harvey to Bobbie Kennedy? Or, did Kim Philby, the Soviet spy who Bill Harvey unmasked eleven years earlier, arrange for the rifle to come to Terre Haute to call attention to Bill Harvey, in an effort to make Bill Harvey look guilty? Our second CIA guy, Ray Cline, was the Deputy Director of Intelligence at the CIA, second only to the Director of the CIA. Ray Cline may have come close to being shot in the Terre Haute House while making a speech to his and William King Harvey's old high school alma mater, Wiley High School, at Wiley's 100 Year Centennial Celebration in the Terre Haute House. Oswald left us a clue as to who was behind the assassination, this story will reveal the clue.
