Based on a real treasure hunt (of sorts) and tons of real history, the Folk Secrets novel
twists through time, exploring a family's generational encounter with a truly bizarre treasure. Some say it's cursed, bewitched, a threat...or the greatest lost treasure never found.
"An exciting adventure that plays on themes from films like National Treasure and Indiana Jones," and "An ambitious and epic saga..." - Kirkus Reviews

The Treasure Hunt Behind the Book
Before it was a novel, Folk Secrets was an experiment in the use of augmented reality (AR) technology. Back in 2018 Trifecta Communications created an Oklahoma history themed treasure hunt with clues hidden in the OKC metro. But not in the present. To find them you had to be in the right spot and then open an AR “time portal” to the past. The ancient treasure story behind that hunt inspired Folk Secrets the novel. While the AR treasure hunt is no longer active, the treasure stories still remain an open question.
