Synopsis

The war is over. But peace has not arrived.

Deep in the Mississippi Delta, hidden among the willow brakes and cypress water, sits a leaning shack called The Crooked Lantern. By day, it is little more than a weathered building. By night, it becomes something else entirely-a kitchen, a juke, a sanctuary, a church for the weary.

The people who gather there are newly freed men and women, laborers, drifters, widows, veterans, and souls trying to learn what freedom is supposed to feel like.

At the center of it all stands Miss Odessa. She cooks. She remembers. She keeps people alive.

Then one rainy night, a stranger arrives wearing a faded Union coat and carrying enough ghosts to fill the Delta. He comes looking for nothing. But he finds a place that feeds more than hunger.

Over the seasons that follow, he will discover that every community has two kinds of liquor:

The liquor in the bottle that helps a person forget.

And the liquor in the pot that teaches a person how to live again.

In Eden Ridge, both are served. But only one can heal a soul.

And before the story is done, the stranger will have to decide which one he intends to drink from.

Pot Liquor is a historical novel about survival, community, and the long, slow work of healing after a war that didn't end when the guns went silent.

À propos de l'auteur

Albert B. Simmons III is a Dallas-based author, designer, and the visionary behind Red Feather Custom Designs. A native of Highland Hills and a graduate of Wilmer-Hutchins, Simmons has spent a lifetime observing the structural realities of urban life, translating the friction of the streets into a high-end aesthetic he calls Luxury Grit.

Simmons is the pioneer of Sublimation Noir, a literary genre that mirrors his work in custom apparel-blending raw, industrial textures with the precision of high-velocity growth. His writing is characterized by a "jargon-free" density, focusing on physical mastery, sovereign identity, and the mechanical truth of the "Inside Work."

When he isn't architecting the world of Marcus Hale, Simmons is a practitioner of sound frequency therapy and a master of kinetic design, constantly recalibrating the energy of his environment. He remains a fixture of the Dallas-Fort Worth landscape, committed to building a legacy of quality that-much like his protagonist-is unmovable.
