From high-rise poker tournaments to rain-soaked buses, from seaside condos to secret libraries, Cut To The Deal is a collection of twelve taut, cinematic tales that explore how chance, risk, and deception shape the modern world.

Each story is inspired by a familiar card game (Hold'em, Bridge, Blackjack, Rummy) and reimagined as a lens on power, loyalty, and luck.

R. J. Kellan writes with the precision of a dealer's cut and the rhythm of a shuffle. The result is an anthology where every turn of a card could reveal love, betrayal, or truth disguised as bluff. Different rooms. Same deck. The deal is yours.

Each tale stands alone, yet together they form a mosaic of cities, secrets, and chance encounters - a literary deck shuffled between noir, mystery, and psychological drama.

Darkly elegant and rich in atmosphere, Cut to the Deal invites readers to play along, knowing that every hand reveals a little more about who we are, and what we're willing to lose.
