IN THE SHADOW OF JEZEBEL
by Mesu Andrews
In a kingdom controlled by cruel and manipulative women, one princess will discover the power of truth and love.
Princess Jehosheba, trained as a priestess in Baal’s temple, strives to please the demanding Queen Athaliah, daughter of Jezebel. But when a
mysterious letter from the dead prophet Elijah predicts doom for the royal household, Jehosheba realizes that the dark arts she practices reach far beyond the realm of earthly governments.
Forced to marry Yahweh’s high priest in order to further Athaliah and Jezebel’s power plays, Jehosheba enters the unfamiliar world of Yahweh’s
Temple. Can her new husband show her the truth and love she craves? And can Jehosheba overcome her fear and save the family—and the nation—she loves?
With deft skill, Mesu Andrews brings the Old Testament to life, revealing a fascinating story of the power of unconditional love.

FALSE DIAMOND
by Veronica Heley
Bea Abbot is drawn back into the questionable doings of the multi-millionaire Holland family, including an engagement with a fake diamond ring, an alleged suicide attempt, an abusive man who tries to put the frighteners on Bea, and the ambiguous behaviour of the black sheep of the family, who turns out to be the joker in the pack.
About the Author:
Veronica Heley celebrated the publication of her 72nd book this autumn, having been in the business for over 30 years. She is currently writing two gentle crime series with a Christian world view; the Ellie Quicke Mysteries and the Bea Abbot detective stories. She also produces some short stories for The Methodist Recorder and other Christian magazines. She’s involved with her local church and community affairs, likes to break for coffee with friends and does the garden when she has time. She has been a member of a book reading club for 40 years, but has decided that life is too short to read depressing literature any more.
