A Century on the Plains: A Kansas Family's Journey Through Wars, Work, and American Newsreels Book III of The Cornelius-Gilley Saga This story follows Dean A. Gilley from his 1901 birth in Kinsley, Kansas through a lifetime of upheaval and wonder. He comes of age as classmates leave for WW1, raises a son and twin daughters with the love of his life, and fights to keep them afloat through the Great Depression, WW2, and family tragedies that never quite break them. For a brief, electric stretch in the mid-1930s, the entire Gilley family trades wheat fields for tenements and theaters in New York City. Across one long life, Dean witnesses the leap from early airplanes and rattling automobiles to rockets on the moon and modern cars-proving how an ordinary family can weather an extraordinary century together.
Autorenporträt
SCOTT HAMELE is a prolific Kansas City-based novelist with more than twenty books to his name, spanning historical and biographical thrillers, near-future suspense, and speculative fiction. He blends cinematic pacing with research-driven authenticity-real streets, tight timelines, and lived-in backstories.His historical fiction catalog includes Capone's North Road, The Petticoat Butcher, Hanna's Room, Promise in the Sky, Hitler Survives, Staff of Moses, Orchard of Secrets, Dust & Honor, Mercy in the Sky, Between Two Flags, and Kentucky Whiskey Barons. He is known for richly researched historical fiction, romantic historical epics, and a growing line of heartwarming, hopeful stories from America's backroads.Hamele's work weaves real places and archival detail with everyday grace-acts of courage, second chances, and communities that choose kindness. When he isn't mapping timelines, he's listening for the small moments that light a life and turning them into page-turning, feel-good reads such as Miles of Good and Porchlight Promises.My books are published in partnership with Schuyler & Sons Publishing
