The Stars in Their Courses
by Martha Shelley
Coming in 2011
Jezebel, queen of Israel, builds opulent temples to the gods of her homeland, Tyre. But she is besieged from all sides. The Assyrian army is approaching, swallowing everything in its path. A new prophet named Elijah has organized a rebellion to drive out Jezebel's foreign gods and bring justice to the poor. And Tamar, Jezebel's physician, is torn by her loyalties to her beloved queen and to her cousin, the prophet. When the Assyrians arrive, she finds her courage and dedication tested on the battlefield.

Norah is the great-great granddaughter of a San Francisco gold rush laundress. Her parents are hard-drinking members of the Bohemian set--and Communists.

These stories illuminate the adventures of Norah and her family in the city they all love.
