Trinity Flynn is an adventurous college junior, a pilot in training, and up to the curl of her bob in trouble. It’s Christmas Day, 1920, and a notorious gang-lord-turned-war-hero lies dead in the grey slush of a Union Square street corner. When Trinity’s flirty roommate doesn’t return home from their speakeasy misadventure, she becomes a prime suspect in the ensuing police investigation.Determined to save her roommate from immediate expulsion (or worse), Trinity runs afoul of a series of seemingly separate events—an anarchist bombing on Wall Street, simmering gang warfare, and the coldblooded murder—and begins to see that the crimes may be connected. What she doesn’t see is that her snooping has made her a target—one the deadliest gang in New York City will stop at nothing to silence.

It’s another beautiful mess for Trinity–May, 1921, and five-year-old Giuseppe Verotta has been kidnapped from in front of his tenement on Manhattan’s lower east side. The police mount a massive manhunt, but days go by with no leads, no clues, nothing but a ransom note–the kidnappers are part of the Black Hand, New York’s newest and deadliest gang. With their operatives compromised, and time running out, the police turn to a longshot who’s come up trumps before–Trinity Flynn.But this isn’t a situation where blundering about in the dark will get the job done. Gang war between the Hand and the Irish mob is brewing. Deep undercover in Little Italy, Trinity’s every move is watched by the Hand, who can smell a trap like a hound sniffs out blood. Even if she can finger the kidnappers, can she find where they’re keeping the boy–before he winds up in the Hudson River? And what but guts, luck, and Trinity’s spectacular flair for narrow escapes can keep her from joining him?The second book in the Trinity Flynn series ratchets the pace and the tension up another notch, as Trinity races time and the gang to save a child, a family, and her city.

Before he was JULIUS CAESAR, he was just Gaius. Kind of. Because the man who will usher in the Roman Empire was never “just” anything.

Think you can match wits with one of the most ambitious men of all time? Cool. Give it a shot.

Book 1 of the Mr. C’s History Hijack series.

Now in playtest, goes live September 2024.

Six tales from the Trinity Flynn universe, from the historical imagination of Christopher JH Jones. Rasmus and Lata Flynn, Gilles Aurentan, and Sebastian Macintyre join Trinity in tales that take the reader from the forests of Belgium to the skies overhead in World War I, to the eastern Slovakian highlands, to Switzerland in the 1890s, to a Long Island airshow in 1921. Watch as Sebastian flies for his life in a new plane against a deadly foe. See the terrible beginnings of Lata Nemcikova Flynn’s deep pain, and the first meeting with the love of her life, a poor Irishman who would give his last breath for his people to be free–but must choose between his people and his heart.

Pliny the Elder (and Younger) try not to become part of the museum at Pompeii. Which is more complicated than it looks, since Vesuvius is trying to kill them.

And you. If you dare to play.

Meet Sara Elizabeth Twopenny Rogers. She cheated Death, dodging a bullet that had her name (and eventually part of her scalp) on it. But Death is an honest businessman, and he doesn’t get cheated. Fortunately, he’s willing to cut a deal.

Sara has a choice: she can, you know, die, for real this time, or she can go to work fixing other situations in which cheating has occurred. Perhaps she should have been more clear that this meant killing people. But they’re supposed to be dead, like she was, so it’s okay, right?

Right?

Well, no. First off, there are things that don’t add up about the Boss’s whole operation. Then there are the memory lapses, the matter-of-fact way the Palatines–they call themselves “Reapers” have of offing the “anomalies”. Sara was–barely–willing to be part of some cosmic justice league, but she is not willing to be a glorified mob hitter, no matter how fancy the new apartment is. So she quits.

She was warned.

Turns out you can’t go home again. And when Sara tries, the universe makes it very clear that there are, for her, only two ways out. And either of them will take her life.

Sara Elizabeth Twopenny Rogers is one of Death’s most successful Palatines. What that unfortunately means is that Sara has killed a lot of people. In fairness, they were supposed to be dead already, and she’s pretty sure things will be even worse if they aren’t sent on, if you get the meaning.

And then comes Dakota Pemberton.

She’s Sara’s new partner–her ninth–and she cheated Death in a bar. And on the street outside. And two blocks away. Some sort of record, Sara’s thinking. Dakota’s husband, unfortunately, was not blessed with the same level of good luck, and got himself reaped by mistake. Now that mistake is Sara’s, and it’s going to make her lose her mind, if not her life.

Unraveling the short life of Eric Pemberton leads to a lot more than Sara and Dakota bargained for, into a network of drugs, extortion, and corruption that even Death’s own minions can’t escape alive.

Coming Fall of 2023. Watch this space for more.
