02_To Catch a Falling Star_Cover 

Publication Date: March 1, 2015 | SilverWood Books | Formats: eBook, Paperback

Series: Book Eight, The Graham Saga
Genre: Historical Fiction/Time-Slip


To Catch a Falling Star is the eighth book in Anna Belfrage’s series featuring time traveller Alexandra Lind and her seventeenth century husband, Matthew Graham.

Some gifts are double-edged swords …

For Matthew Graham, being given the gift of his former Scottish manor is a dream come true. For his wife, Alex, this gift will force her to undertake a perilous sea journey, leaving most of their extensive family in the Colony of Maryland. Alex is torn apart by this, but staying behind while her husband travels to Scotland is no option.
Scotland in 1688 is a divided country, torn between the papist Stuart king and the foreign but Protestant William of Orange. In the Lowlands, popular opinion is with Dutch William, and Matthew’s reluctance to openly support him does not endear him to his former friends and neighbours.

While Matthew struggles to come to terms with the fact that Scotland of 1688 bears little resemblance to his lovingly conserved memories, Alex is forced to confront unresolved issues from her past, including her overly curious brother-in-law, Luke Graham. And then there’s the further complication of the dashing, flamboyant Viscount Dundee, a man who knocks Alex completely off her feet.

All the turmoil that accompanies their return to Scotland pales into insignificance when a letter arrives, detailing the calamities threatening their youngest daughter in Maryland – at the hand of that most obnoxious minister, Richard Campbell. Matthew and Alex have no choice but to hasten back, no matter the heartache this causes.

Will they make it back in time? And what will Richard Campbell do?

About the Author

Anna BelfrageI was raised abroad, on a pungent mix of Latin American culture, English history and Swedish traditions. As a result I’m multilingual and most of my reading is historical – both non-fiction and fiction.

I was always going to be a writer – or a historian, preferably both. Instead I ended up with a degree in Business and Finance, with very little time to spare for my most favourite pursuit. Still, one does as one must, and in between juggling a challenging career I raised my four children on a potent combination of invented stories, historical debates and masses of good food and homemade cakes. They seem to thrive … Nowadays I spend most of my spare time at my writing desk. The children are half grown, the house is at times eerily silent and I slip away into my imaginary world, with my imaginary characters. Every now and then the one and only man in my life pops his head in to ensure I’m still there. I like that – just as I like how he makes me laugh so often I’ll probably live to well over a hundred.

I was always going to be a writer. Now I am – I have achieved my dream.

Publication Date: March 23, 2015 | Triumph Productions | Formats: eBook, Paperback | Pages: 180

Genre: Historical Fiction


In the summer of 1962, nothing could prepare Dr. Charles Campbell for his first meeting with his new client, Marilyn Monroe. A reputable psychiatrist, he's been hired by a studio executive to handle and subdue the star, no matter what it takes. Although he's been warned about Ms. Monroe's unpredictability, she's not what he expected, and resisting her natural charms will test his fortitude.

In the days that follow, Charles' world is turned upside-down. His marriage has been under pressure and is still fragile from one of his wife’s antics. Obsessed with reinvigorating her acting career, Helen Campbell often ignores her motherhood duties. Charles does as much as he can to hold the family together and to protect his young daughters, but the strain has reached a new intensity for all of them.

Charles’ sessions with Marilyn range from sensual to bizarre. She even threatens to go public with information that could ruin her career and destroy President Kennedy’s administration.

Desperate for advice, Charles enlists help from a former college pal, Bertrand Miller. A private detective, known for seedy practices, Miller isn’t new to Hollywood’s underside—or even to Marilyn’s secrets. He advises Charles to be careful, as it’s rumored that the mob will silence Marilyn to protect Kennedy.

But Charles makes the mistake of getting too personal with Marilyn. Although his intentions are well-meaning, those keeping an eye on Marilyn couldn’t care less, which makes Charles a target for the mob and the FBI. Saving Marilyn from her self-destructive ways and crossing doctor-patient boundaries, might also cost Charles Campbell his life.

Guest Post by Alison McMahan + Giveaway: The Saffron Crocus

Today on the blog please help me welcome author Alison McMahan! Alison is currently on Blog Tour with HF Virtual Book Tours for her Historical YA novel, The Saffron Crocus, and today I am so excited to bring you an awesome post from Alison and a chance for you to win a copy of the book!

Historical Research:Investigation Leads to Inspiration by Alison McMahan


A question that comes up often when I appear at author events is "why historical?" My 'cute' answer is that I don't have to make anything up — not what the characters were wearing or what they ate. It's all there to be looked up.

Of course that answer is simplistic. Most historical authors, myself included, work hard to weave together a story that's composed of true historical events/settings/figures, accurately described, mixed in with fictional characters living out their own dramas.

For The Saffron Crocus (www.TheSaffronCrocus.com), my young adult historical mystery, I knew I wanted the story to be set in Venice, a city I'd visited a few times. After some research, I picked the year 1643. Why 1643? Because I wanted my heroine, Isabella, to be fifteen and to have lost her parents in the Black Plague of 1633, when she was five. And since Isabella wants to sing, first in Claudio Monteverdi's choir and then in operas, I had to choose a time when Monteverdi was still choir director at San Marco's Basilica and his first operas were being performed.

One of the great pleasures of writing historical is stumbling on discoveries that change everything in your novel. I was reading travel articles about Venice and stumbled on this gem:

Venice is no ordinary city, and neither is its cemetery. Until the early 19th century, Venetians usually buried their dead under paving stones within the central city -- not a salutary practice, particularly in times of pestilence. So the Austrian occupation decreed in 1837 that San Michele would be the only possible burial ground for most Venetians. (A Jewish cemetery dating from the 14th century is on the Lido.) (Susan Allen Toth, New York Times, 1993: Venice's Isle Of The Dead) http://www.nytimes.com/1993/05/16/travel/venice-s-isle-of-the-dead.html

Venice buried their dead under paving stones! This changed all my memories of wandering around Venice and taking in the sights. When I walked across a campo, was I walking over Venice's dead?

Just as fascinating was that Venetian Jews had a cemetery centuries before Christian Venetians did. These two facts together inspired in the crafting of one of the main twists in the story.

Even though The Saffron Crocus is a mystery, it's not all about death. Isabella is fifteen. In 1643 that made her an adult. She had to decide how she was going to earn her living and who she was going to marry. But she's still young enough to be trying new things and getting into trouble.

I wanted to write a scene a modern teenager would identify with. Today's teenagers sneak off with a six pack of beer. But in 1643 the drug of choice was coffee. Called cavee, it was much stronger than what Americans drink today, and definitely had a mind-altering effect. So I built a scene of teenagers hanging out and getting to know each other around the 'forbidden substance' of cavee.

More than anything, The Saffron Crocus is about music. As I did my research, I was pained and saddened to discover that many scores to operas have been lost. One of the greatest losses is L'Arianna, by Claudio Monteverdi. All that remains is the music for one aria, the "Lamento d'Arianna" (Arianna's Lament), which is still performed today. You can find many versions on youtube. This discovery influenced me to write the scene that for me was one of the most powerful scenes in the book.

Historical research can be difficult and time consuming, but sometimes even a small discovery can have a huge impact on a story.

About The Saffron Crocus

02_The Saffron Crocus 

Publication Date: December 13, 2014 | Black Opal Books | eBook; 306p

Genre: Young Adult/Historical Mystery/Romance

Add to GR Button

Winner of the 2014 Rosemary Award for Best Historical for Young Adults.

Venice, 1643. Isabella, fifteen, longs to sing in Monteverdi’s Choir, but only boys (and castrati) can do that. Her singing teacher, Margherita, introduces her to a new wonder: opera! Then Isabella finds Margherita murdered. Now people keep trying to kill Margherita’s handsome rogue of a son, Rafaele.

Was Margherita killed so someone could steal her saffron business? Or was it a disgruntled lover, as Margherita—unbeknownst to Isabella—was one of Venice’s wealthiest courtesans?

Or will Isabella and Rafaele find the answer deep in Margherita's past, buried in the Jewish Ghetto?

Isabella has to solve the mystery of the Saffron Crocus before Rafaele hangs for a murder he didn’t commit, though she fears the truth will drive her and the man she loves irrevocably apart.

Excerpt

Who knew a singing career would be this much trouble?

“Rafaele!” She flew into the garret. “Piero, it was so wonderful, wait until I tell you!”

The stool next to the bed was knocked over. The tray with the genepy bottle was on the floor, one of the cups broken. The fat candle that had been burning next to Rafaele’s bed had been flung to the other side of the room.. Canvases were strewn all over the floor, some of them slashed, and many of Master Strozzi’s jars of paint elements were broken.

Did Piero and Rafaele have a fight? She quickly suppressed the thought. Who would get into a fight with a man who was already injured?

Something else must have happened.

She walked across the garret. “Piero? Rafaele, are you here?”

Rafaele was not in the bed. The sheets and blankets she had piled on top of him were strewn everywher. Blood-stained sheets spilled over the edge of the pallet. There was a pile of clothes on the floor.

She walked around to get a closer look.

Not clothes. It was Piero. Face down, one arm stretched out before him, as if in supplication.

A puddle of blood under him.

Dead.

Victorian Revenge and Its Lunacy: Guest Post by Robert Morrison {Inspector of the Dead Blog Tour} + Giveaway!



Today on the blog I am pleased to bring you a fascinating guest post on Thomas DeQuincey by author Robert Morrison as part of David Morrell's Inspector of the Dead Blog Tour! I also have a chance for one of you to win a copy of David's latest novel.

Robert Morrison is the author of a forthcoming edition of Thomas De Quincey, which will be released this year in Oxford University Press’s new 21st-Century Oxford Authors series: http://ukcatalogue.oup.com/category/academic/series/literature/21coa.do.

Victorian Revenge and Its Lunacy

David Morrell has done it again. Two years ago, in Murder as a Fine Art, he produced a gripping tale of terror and despair set in 1854 London, and featuring the infamous English opium addict and essayist Thomas De Quincey (1785-1859), initially as a suspect in the gruesome murders, and then as a police consultant intimately involved in tracking down the killer.

At the heart of Murder is Morrell’s reimagining of De Quincey’s two most famous works. The first, Confessions of an English Opium-Eater (1821), is De Quincey’s seminal account of both the pains and the pleasures of opium, a drug which he consumed in vast quantities in a potent tincture called “laudanum,” and which is now much better known in the form of one of its chief derivatives: heroin.

The second, a three-part series On Murder Considered as One of the Fine Arts (1827, 1839, 1854), is De Quincey’s wide-ranging exploration of the Ratcliffe Highway murders of December 1811, when seven people in two separate incidents were brutally murdered in London’s notorious East End. In Murder, the assassin is obsessed with De Quincey and his opium addiction, as well as with the Ratcliffe Highway killings, which he delights in re-enacting step by blood-soaked step.

Morrell’s newest novel, Inspector of the Dead, picks up where Murder finishes off, once again bringing De Quincey as opium habitué and true crime connoisseur vividly into view, and extending even further the range of references to his life and his writings. Most notably, “revenge, and the lunacy of revenge,” as De Quincey once memorably phrased it, drive both Morrell’s assassin in Inspector and the anti-heroes in two of De Quincey’s finest works of terror fiction.

In The Household Wreck (1838), De Quincey produces a disturbing tale of injustice, deceit, and incarceration, and concludes with a scene of mob violence in which the blackmailer is beaten to death, and the narrator’s thirst for vengeance is satiated. Morrell draws deeply on this tale in Inspector, reworking some of its central features to shape his account of the misfortunes that befall the killer’s family, as well as the implacable rage that subsequently governs his actions.

Even more centrally, in The Avenger (1838), De Quincey explores the unnerving consequences of vigilantism and persecution in a tale in which a war hero returns unrecognized to the town where his innocent mother was publicly flogged to death, and begins to assassinate those responsible for the atrocity.

Morrell comes back to this tale on several occasions in Inspector, including when the violence initiated by his killer careens so far out of control that he – like De Quincey’s killer – becomes his own enemy. De Quincey in The Avenger creates an assassin who sees his acts of retribution as confirmation, not of the dead-end futility of violence, but of the divinity of his bloody mission. His “avenger” is at once a saviour and a suicide, a protector and a destroyer. In Inspector, Morrell’s “revenger” – as he is called throughout the novel – makes equally compelling claims on our sympathies.

De Quincey’s finest writings include his drug-addled Confessions, his lurid accounts of murder as a fine art, and his terror tales of execution and revenge. It is to these works that Morrell turns in Inspector, creating a dynamic interplay in which De Quincey feeds Morrell, Morrell intensifies and reinterprets De Quincey, and the writings of both authors are transformed in the process. Morrell has not only opened up new perspectives on the range and relevance of De Quincey, but his ongoing fascination with him has produced a second tour-de-force, in which mid-Victorian London is once again the backdrop for a superb tale of detection, reprisal, and addiction.

About Inspector of the Dead

Publication Date: March 24, 2015 | Mulholland Books | Hardcover; 342p | ISBN: 9780316323932

Genre: Historical Mystery

Add to GR Button

David Morrell’s MURDER AS A FINE ART was a publishing event. Acclaimed by critics, it made readers feel that they were actually on the fogbound streets of Victorian London. Now the harrowing journey continues in INSPECTOR OF THE DEAD.

Thomas De Quincey, infamous for his Confessions of an Opium-Eater,confronts London's harrowing streets to thwart the assassination of Queen Victoria.
The year is 1855. The Crimean War is raging. The incompetence of British commanders causes the fall of the English government. The Empire teeters.

Amid this crisis comes opium-eater Thomas De Quincey, one of the most notorious and brilliant personalities of Victorian England. Along with his irrepressible daughter, Emily, and their Scotland Yard companions, Ryan and Becker, De Quincey finds himself confronted by an adversary who threatens the heart of the nation.

This killer targets members of the upper echelons of British society, leaving with each corpse the name of someone who previously attempted to kill Queen Victoria. The evidence indicates that the ultimate victim will be Victoria herself. As De Quincey and Emily race to protect the queen, they uncover long-buried secrets and the heartbreaking past of a man whose lust for revenge has destroyed his soul.

Brilliantly merging historical fact with fiction, Inspector of the Dead is based on actual attempts to assassinate Queen Victoria.

Praise for Inspector of the Dead

“Riveting! I literally thought I was in 1855 London. With this mesmerizing series, David Morrell doesn’t just delve into the world of Victorian England—he delves into the heart of evil, pitting one man’s opium-skewed brilliance against a society where appearances are everything, and the most vicious killers lurk closer than anyone thinks.” —Lisa Gardner, New York Times bestselling author of Crash & Burn and The Perfect Husband


What the Victorian Experts Say:

“Even better than Murder as a Fine Art. A truly atmospheric and dynamic thriller. I was fascinated by how Morrell seamlessly blended elements from Thomas De Quincey’s life and work. The solution is a complete surprise.” —Grevel Lindop, The Opium-Eater: A Life of Thomas De Quincey

“The scope is remarkable. Florence Nightingale, the Crimean War, regicide, the railways, opium, the violence and despair of the London rookeries, medical and scientific innovations, arsenic in the food and clothing—all this makes the Victorian world vivid. The way Morrell depicts Thomas De Quincey places him in front of us, living and breathing. But his daughter Emily is in many ways the real star of the book.” —Robert Morrison, The English Opium-Eater: A Biography of Thomas De Quincey

“I absolutely raced through it and couldn’t bear to put it down. I particularly liked how the very horrible crimes are contrasted with the developing, fascinating relationship between Thomas De Quincey and his daughter, Emily, who come across as extremely real. It was altogether a pleasure.” —Judith Flanders, The Invention of Murder: How the Victorians Reveled in Death and Detection and Created Modern Crime

Add to GR Button

Long before she ran away with Paris to Troy, Helen of Sparta was haunted by nightmares of a burning city under siege. These dreams foretold impending war—a war that only Helen has the power to avert. To do so, she must defy her family and betray her betrothed by fleeing the palace in the dead of night. In need of protection, she finds shelter and comfort in the arms of Theseus, son of Poseidon. With Theseus at her side, she believes she can escape her destiny. But at every turn, new dangers—violence, betrayal, extortion, threat of war—thwart Helen’s plans and bar her path. Still, she refuses to bend to the will of the gods.

A new take on an ancient myth, Helen of Sparta is the story of one woman determined to decide her own fate.

Blog Tour Reviews

"Like Cara Langston's Battle Hymns and Trini Amador's Gracianna, Immigrant Soldier captures the individual experience of the WWII. Earnest, informative and heartfelt, the book evokes the spirit of a unit who refused to be victimized and honors their contribution to the war effort." - Flashlight Commentary (http://flashlightcommentary.blogspot.com/2015/04/immigrant-soldier-story-of-ritchie-boy.html)

"The author has researched and delved into an aspect of the war that has rarely been highlighted before and brings the world of US military interpreters and their importance to US military strategy to the reading public" - Dianne Ascroft (https://dianneascroft.wordpress.com/2015/04/09/immigrant-soldier-a-new-look-at-wwii)

"The author did a wonderful job bringing this world alive. I was drawn in from page one. I recommend it for those that like HF and/or biography-type books. This was a good one and I really think it should be turned into a TV special or a movie. Out of five stars, I stamp this with 4." - Carole Ramblings (http://www.caroleraesramblings.com/2015/04/book-review-immigrant-soldier-by-k-lang.html)

About Immigrant Soldier

02_Immigrant Soldier Cover 

Publication Date: February 9, 2015 | Pacific Bookworks | Formats: eBook & Paperback

Genre: Historical Fiction


Immigrant Soldier, The Story of a Ritchie Boy, based on the true experiences of a refugee from Nazi Germany, combines a coming-of-age story with an immigrant tale and a World War II adventure. On a cold November morning in 1938, Herman watches in horror as his cousin is arrested. As a Jew, he realizes it is past time to flee Germany, a decision that catapults him from one adventure to another, his life changed forever by the gathering storm of world events. Gradually, Herman evolves from a frustrated teenager, looking for a place to belong, into a confident US Army intelligence officer who struggles with hate and forgiveness.

Advance Praise

“In this debut historical novel, a young German Jew flees his homeland before World War II and is later drafted into the US Army, serving closely under the legendary Gen. George S. Patton. Lang-Slattery effectively mines family history to create a solid work of historical fiction from her uncle’s real-life derring-do. . . . In the sunny glamour of the book’s California passages, she effectively evokes the young immigrant’s overflowing hope. . . . Overall, her uncle’s fictionalized adventures never fail to interest, whether he’s slipping behind the lines for Patton or simply attempting to romance the local girls. An often engaging tale of one man’s involvement in the world’s most horrific war.” - Kirkus Reviews

“A captivating book, extremely well written. Thanks to the army’s Camp Ritchie Military Intelligence Training Center for molding soldiers like Herman Lang and to the author for sharing his story with us.” - Ralph M. Hockley, Colonel, US Army (Ret); Career Army Intelligence Officer, 1952-1980; and a Ritchie Boy

“K. Lang-Slattery has uncovered small but significant details that not only add to the fascination of her novel but also bring material before the public never hitherto disclosed. Beyond that, her brief character sketches bring us, in miniature, samples of the “Greatest Generation.” And her style keeps the reader glued to the page!” - Guy Stern, Distinguished Professor Emeritus; Director, International Institute of the Righteous, and Ritchie Boy

“Written by Herman's niece, Immigrant Soldier, The Story of a Ritchie Boy, has an appealing personal touch. Interwoven through the story is a wealth of well-researched and often little-known information about World War II. Time reading this book is time well-spent, and anyone—from teens to adults, history buffs or not—will enjoy it.” - Marion Coste – Editor and award-winning children’s book author of Kolea.

Giveaway: The Masque of a Murderer by Susanna Calkins

Today is the last day of Susanna Calkin's Blog Tour for The Masque of a Murderer and I have one more chance for you to win your own copy!

02_The Masque of a Murderer_Cover 

Publication Date: April 14, 2015 | Minotaur Books/St. Martins Press | Formats: Hardcover, eBook
Pages: 323

Series: Book Three, Lucy Campion Mysteries
Genre: Historical Mystery

Add to GR Button

In Susanna Calkins’ next richly drawn mystery set in 17th century England, Lucy Campion, formerly a ladies’ maid in the local magistrate’s household, has now found gainful employment as a printer’s apprentice. On a freezing winter afternoon in 1667, she accompanies the magistrate’s daughter, Sarah, to the home of a severely injured Quaker man to record his dying words, a common practice of the time. The man, having been trampled by a horse and cart the night before, only has a few hours left to live. Lucy scribbles down the Quaker man’s last utterances, but she’s unprepared for what he reveals to her—that someone deliberately pushed him into the path of the horse, because of a secret he had recently uncovered.

Fearful that Sarah might be traveling in the company of a murderer, Lucy feels compelled to seek the truth, with the help of the magistrate's son, Adam, and the local constable. But delving into the dead man’s background might prove more dangerous than any of them had imagined.

In The Masque of a Murderer, Susanna Calkins has once again combined finely wrought characters, a richly detailed historical atmosphere, and a tightly-plotted mystery into a compelling read.

Praise for the Lucy Campion Mystery Series

"...the high-quality writing augurs well for future outings." -Publisher's Weekly

"Calkins makes Lucy’s efforts to find the real killer entirely plausible, leading to a nail-biter climax with London in flames. This history-mystery delivers a strong heroine making her way through the social labyrinth of Restoration London." -Booklist

"Calkins' debut mystery places her unusual detective in a world rich in carefully researched historical detail." -Kirkus

"A historical mystery with originality and great attention to detail. Readers are transported to 17th century England, a time when social classes were just beginning to change. The characters are multi-dimensional--including the smart, adventurous Lucy Campion--and the mystery will keep readers turning the pages, and they'll eagerly await the next book in the series." RT Book Reviews (4 Stars)

"...an intricate tale of fraud and blackmail, leavened by a touch of romance. Calkins, who holds a doctorate in British history, puts her knowledge to sparkling use in this intriguing mystery, which combines a gripping plot with rich historical detail and one of the most admirable protagonists in the genre." -The Richmond Times-Dispatch

"Calkins is able to seamlessly weave this romance into the story without making it the main plot line, and keeping the mystery the main focus of the story....The puzzles, anagrams, and many secrets combine to make intertwining plot twists that keep the pages turning. FROM THE CHARRED REMAINS is an exciting, secret filled, historical mystery that will keep readers guessing until the very end." --Fresh Fiction (Reviewer's Pick)

“A good yarn and a fascinating look at life in England in a time when things began to change...social classes, positions, servants' rights...all because of plague and fire.” -Book Babe Blog

“For me, this book was more than a mystery. It was an eye-opening look at what London was like in the mid-1660s, including the plague and fire that ravaged London, class struggle, the plight of women, and the laws of the time. The author's engaging writing style made it easy to slip back into the past and experience these things with Lucy.” -Book of Secrets

“A Murder at Rosamund's Gate is Susanna Calkins' absorbing debut novel. Just a warning that time WILL easily slip away as you become engrossed in this historical fiction mystery.” -1776 Books: A Philadelphian's Literary Journey

T.K. Thorne's Angels at the Gate Blog Tour & Giveaway!

Today is the last day of T.K. Thorne's Blog Tour for Angels at the Gate, and the last day to enter to win a copy for yourself! The blog tour reviewers loved Angels at the Gate, you can read their reviews below!

02_Angels at the Gate_Cover 

Publication Date: March 5, 2015 | Cappuccino Books | Formats: eBook, Hardcover | Pages: 368

Genre: Historical Fiction

Add to GR Button

Based on historical, biblical, and archaeological research, visits to the Middle East, and a large measure of creativity, ANGELS AT THE GATE is the story of Adira, destined to become Lot’s wife. A daughter of Abram's tribe, Adira is an impetuous young girl whose mother died in childbirth. Secretly raised as a boy in her father’s caravan and schooled in languages and the art of negotiation, Adira rejects the looming changes of womanhood that threaten her nomadic life and independence.

But with the arrival of two mysterious strangers – Northmen rumored to be holy or possibly even “Angels” – Adira’s world unravels. Raiders invade the caravan, and she loses everything she values most – her father, her freedom, and even the “Angels.”

Caught between her oath to her father to return to her tribe and the “proper life for a woman” and tormented by an impossible love, she abandons all she has known in a dangerous quest to seek revenge and find her kidnapped “Angel.” With only her beloved dog, Nami, at her side, Adira must use the skills she learned in the caravan to survive the perils of the desert, Sodom, and her own heart.

ANGELS AT THE GATE is a story of adventure and the power of love, exploring themes about choice – the importance of asking the right questions and walking the fine edge between duty and personal freedom.

Based on a simple mention in the Bible, T.K. Thorne has developed a complex and full-bodied character in the wife of Lot, a woman both ancient and modern, who will touch readers’ hearts, and live in their memories for years to come. As Dianne Mooney, founder of Southern Living At Home says, “For all those whose curiosity is piqued by how it might have been in the time of Sodom and Gomorrah, this is a must read!”

Praise for Angels at the Gate

"ANGELS AT THE GATE is nothing short of a masterwork–superbly and eloquently written, solidly researched and a high-speed page-turner. Readers will be swept up in a story they can't put down." –Elsa D. Ruther, editor,The Nifty Pickle

“A masterpiece of historical research, interweaving history and theology in a re-visioning of an ancient story from a woman’s perspective. Thorne is a dazzlingly gifted writer.” –Sue Walker, Poet Laureate of Alabama, 2003-2012

“Thorne unspools an ancient adventure with crackling undertones of our contemporary lives. Lean, polished action sequences render a young woman’s life with both intensity and nuanced truth.” –Dale Short, public radio commentator and author of A Shinning, Shinning Path
