Good Morning After Supper
Espionage. Romance. Frequent flier miles. All of these-and a big dose of culture clash-come into play in Good Morning After Supper. Author Tatyana Dickinson's novel features a heroine well-trained in undercover work who is surprised when she's once again called upon to use those skills.
Alex (also referred to as Alexandra or Aleksandra) Campbell is married and living in Connecticut when she's called back to mother Russia by the Ministry of Internal Affairs (KGB), where she received her training. On arrival, she's nearly killed and learns two things are at play: Her firsthusband plans to challenge Vladimir Putin in the next presidential election, and as they are still legally married he needs a divorce; however, someone wants the contents of a Swiss safedeposit box that Alex can open as long as the couple are legally married, and he's kidnapped her to make the heist. Can she seduce this enemy into working with her? Her life hangs in the balance.
This premise is juicy and the plot is rapid-fire fun. Alex is a cynical, funny protagonist. The title isa clever comment on the sense of unreality one gets while passing through multiple time zones.
Also available as an ebook.

Serving Soviet Union or Elephant Never Forgets
The past never stays in the past. Every choice, every silence, every betrayal sets off a domino effect that reaches across decades — from the shadows of the Soviet Union to the “hot” conflicts shaping today’s world.
This is a gripping story of secrets and deception, drawn from the author’s life in the USSR during the Cold War and refracted through the turmoil of the present. The beliefs that once felt absolute have crumbled; the ideology that shaped an entire generation now stands exposed as obsolete, misguided, or dangerously incomplete. Old loyalties must be questioned. Some must be rewired. Others must be cut off entirely.
New values rise. New leaders emerge. Yet history loops back on itself because human nature remains unchanged. Pride, greed, envy, wrath — the Seven Deadly Sins outlive every revolution, every regime, every promise of a better world.
This book is a testament to how the past shapes us, haunts us, and sometimes forces us to choose who we are all over again. This story shows how the past never stays buried — how every choice, every compromise, every betrayal sends a “domino effect” crashing into the present. It’s an arresting tale of secrets and deception, rooted in the author’s life in the USSR during the Cold War and echoing into the “hot” wars of today’s world. The ideology that once felt absolute has become obsolete, even dangerous. Old loyalties must be re‑examined, rewired, or severed entirely. New values rise, new leaders emerge, yet history circles back on itself because human nature still bends toward the same ancient temptations — the Seven Deadly Sins that outlive every revolution.
