Whiz Kid is a powerful coming-of-age novel set in 1950 Philadelphia,
where Jewish Navy veteran Ben Green faces impossible choices.

Pressured by his pregnant wife to finish his novel or take a secure job at a
prestigious ad agency, Ben must also navigate the era’s class divisions
and antisemitism. His best friend’s elite world clashes with his
working-class South Philly roots and Jewish identity.

Temptation, ambition, and loyalty collide—especially when Ilene, a
captivating classmate, threatens to unravel his carefully balanced life. As
the Phillies’ Whiz Kids chase a pennant, Ben’s own reckoning
builds to a climax, culminating in a surprising decision that redefines his
future.

Co-written with David S. Burcat, Joel Burcat’s late father, Whiz Kid is
a deeply American story of resilience, legacy, and the true cost of following
one’s heart.

A National Competition and a Deadly Detour

High school teacher Katie Wilk is thrilled when her students qualify for Mock
Trial America, a prestigious courtroom competition in Atlanta. Alongside her
best friend and fellow teacher Jane Mackey, a team of eager teens, and a crew
of devoted chaperones, Katie boards a flight from Minnesota—ready for a
week of intellectual showdowns and Southern hospitality. But things go
sideways before the plane is even off the ground.

With canceled flights, endless delays, and one particularly obnoxious
passenger stirring up trouble, the trip turns into a logistical, almost
deadly, nightmare. When that same rude traveler turns up later in Atlanta, the
chaos takes a deadly turn—and suspicion lands squarely on the Mackey
family.

As Katie digs deeper, she uncovers a web of secrets: stolen documents,
corporate espionage, dangerous toxins, and enough motive to make her question
everything. Can she untangle the truth before the killer strikes again?

Luckily, she’s got help—from Maverick, her sharp-nosed, loyal
Labrador retriever and trained search-and-rescue dog, who’s always ready
to sniff out danger.

Smart, suspenseful, and full of heart, this latest installment in Mary
Seifert’s charming cozy mystery series delivers Southern intrigue,
tricky puzzles, and the kind of dogged determination only a Lab (and a
resolute teacher) can provide.

 

 

Excerpt

 

Weather delayed the incoming plane. We had boarded thirty minutes behind
schedule, and forty-two minutes later, after anxious bouts of fits and giggles
checking watches and phone screens, we saw our pilot step out of the cockpit
to make a brief announcement.

“Good morning, folks. Sorry for the delay, but due to mechanical issues,
we’ve had to cancel our non-stop flight to Atlanta.” As the air
around me took on a rumble, he smiled uneasily and took a big breath.
“We apologize for any inconvenience, and we’ll do our best to
accommodate you and get you to your final destination as quickly as possible.
Please gather your belongings and check the seat pocket before disembarking.
See the gate attendant for more details.”

We exited the aircraft. Our students crowded around me, and I said decisively,
“We’ll catch another plane soon and still arrive in plenty of time
to take advantage of everything we’ve planned before your competition
begins in three days. Don’t worry.”

Famous last words. I hoped I wasn’t constructing a false narrative for
our future.

I massaged my temples as we waited our turn and inched our way to the desk for
information. The smile glued to the young man’s face never wavered as he
checked our tickets. “It’s a very busy Memorial weekend.”
His fingers flew over the keys. “It’ll take a bit of maneuvering
to get your entire group in the sky, but we’ll get you on the next
available flight, however …” He looked up at me, and one corner of his
mouth turned down in a bit of alarm. “The operative word is
available.

My heart leaped to my throat, and I gritted my teeth in frustration.

“And a nonstop will be impossible.” His eyebrows, cheeks, and lips
morphed into one big apology. “You’ll be rerouted first through
Detroit.”

Doesn’t matter that Laken is Flicker’s sister, and a virgin.
I always get what I want, and Laken is mine!

Ryker: After 20 years in the military, I find myself doing my dad’s
dirty work. But as the “prince” of the Hades Abyss MC, it’s
expected of me. Doing a little recon in a small Alabama town should have been
boring as shit, until the hot little minx I met at a bar turned my life upside
down. Women always fall at my feet, but this one’s different. If
I’d known she was a virgin, I might have backed away, but now that
I’ve had a taste I want to keep coming back for more. Little did I
realize that I’d just fucked the sister of a Dixie Reaper, and my
life’s about to become all kinds of complicated. I have to
wonder… had she fucked me because she wanted me? Or is it all some kind
of setup?

Laken: My big brother Flicker is always ruining my fun, keeping the guys away
from me, so when I finally get a chance for a hot guy to get rid of my V-card,
I’m all for it. Ryker’s hot and has that alpha vibe, and the fact
he’s ex-military just makes me wetter. It never occurred to me that he
was a biker, or that I might have just screwed up a big deal for the Dixie
Reapers. It seems my sexy Ryker isn’t just some hot military guy. No,
he’s the son of the President of the Hades Abyss MC. So I hide like big
brother asks me to. Just one problem… Ryker doesn’t leave, and
now I’m late. How am I supposed to tell Ryker that I’m carrying
his child? When life fucks me over, it does it royally.

EXCERPT

 

I threw back another shot of whiskey, and slammed the glass down on the bar
top. It was my tenth. Or was it twelfth? I’d lost count somewhere along the
way, but I wasn’t even remotely drunk. There was a slight warmth spreading
through me, but I was one hundred percent in charge of my actions. So when I
slid my hand up the back of the thigh of the hottie standing next to me, yeah,
that was all me. What can I say? That sweet, curvy ass of hers was calling to
me.

She slowly turned her head to look at me over her shoulder as my hand slipped
up farther, sliding under the hem of her too short dress. Mmm. No panties. I
gave her ass cheek a squeeze and watched as heat flared in her eyes. Whatever
schmuck she’d been talking to was forgotten as she turned to face me. Oh yeah.
The front matched the back. Nice, luscious breasts that were barely contained
by the stretchy top of her dress, and damn if her nipples weren’t poking
through.

“Normally a guy buys me a drink before he grabs my ass,” she said.

“Guess I’m not a normal guy.”

She reached out and fingered the dog tags that I still wore, despite the fact
I’d been out of the service for a month. “No, soldier, you certainly aren’t.”

“Marine,” I said.

She bit her lip and moved in a little closer. “Guess that makes you something
of a badass, doesn’t it?”

I smirked and squeezed her ass again. “Something like that.”

She reached out and rubbed a hand down my chest, her fingers trailing across
my abs and stopping at my belt buckle. I could tell she liked what she saw,
and I damn sure liked the way she filled out her dress. It would look even
better bunched around her waist while I fucked her.

“You’re so big and strong,” she said with a purr.

“Oh, baby. You have no idea.”

I slid my fingers farther down the curve of her ass until they teased her
pussy. She was already wet and so damn slick, and she looked like just the
type of girl who would let me fuck her in the bathroom. I knew the type, and
those hard nipples and wet little pussy told me that she wanted me bad enough
to let me do whatever I wanted. Women tended to fall at my feet, always had,
and this one wasn’t going to be an exception. Kneeling was a good place for
them, easier access for sucking my cock.

“Bigger doesn’t mean better,” she said. “It’s all in how you use it.”

“I know how to use it. I can make you scream my name all night long.”

She shrugged. “Maybe you can and maybe you can’t.”

Oh, I could. It was a proven fact. Women always screamed in ecstasy whenever I
was pounding into their pussies, or anywhere else I pleased. They begged me
for it.

“What’s your name, sugar?”

“Laken.”

“I’m Ryker. What do you say we get to know one another a little better?” I
stroked her pussy again, letting my fingers dip inside. She bit her lip, and a
flush started creeping up her chest. I’d be willing to bet I could get her off
right here and now.

“Maybe I’m not that kind of girl,” she said, her voice dropping as I stroked
her some more.

“Honey, my fingers are coated in your cream, right here in front of everyone.
I bet I could get you so turned-on, you’d let me fuck you anywhere I pleased.
Just bend you over the bar and take what I wanted.” I smirked. “In any hole I
wanted.”

She gasped, but her eyes dilated, and I knew she’d liked the idea. Naughty
girl.
