Belaset's Daughter
England, 1264: as Simon de Montfort and his fellow Barons challenge Henry III's arrogance, the country moves inexorably towards civil war. In the little town of Lewes in Sussex, Judith, daughter of Belaset, seizes the opportunity to strike one last blow against de Montfort before her wedding to Aaron of London, as revenge for the massacre of her family. A trusted messenger between the King and his loyal followers, she agrees to act as go-between for King Henry and William Foville, Prior of St Pancras. In Lewes Castle, built when the Conqueror gave the land to William de Warenne, Jervis FitzHugh, squire to William's descendant John, longs for adventure, and for the hand of Madeleine de Tourney. Judith, Aaron, Jervis and Madeleine all become closely intertwined in a way that none of them could have foreseen. Far from a simple journey to France and back, Judith finds herself facing danger and deceit, as de Montfort's followers do all they can to prevent the message getting through. Help comes from the King's supporters, in England and in France, and from other more unexpected quarters. When the inevitable happens, and the Battle of Lewes is fought, Judith's work is done.
Diggers
This book is the story, intimate and moving in the telling, of a group of Lativan men who refer to themselves as the Diggers. This platoon of digger colleagues gathers from disparate fields and disciplines. Digging in the old trenches and sunken bunkers of the Latvian forest, you may find, among others, the Communicator, the Classicist, the Forest Man, Little Spirit, and the venerable Legend. Their abiding interest is in discovering and preserving what happened in the Latvian forest during the two major wars of this century. As they uncover the large number of men left dead in their last defensive fortifications, the Diggers often think that their work is perhaps the only semblance of victory to have occured in that place.

Prelude to Hemlock
Prelude to Hemlock is a black comedy that follows the fortunes of the young narrator, Jeffrey Edwards. A contrarian by nature and libertine by choice, Jeff is charming, caustic, fiercely intelligent...and fiercely self-destructive. Jeff writes lyrics for his sister Kim, a gifted rock musician, and as Kim's musical star rises, the siblings become entangled in events both comic and appalling. Along the way, Jeff contends with his pill-popping mother; his breezy and scheming father; and his dope-smoking friend, Tall Patty. As these characters intertwine and collide, Kim's career approaches the bright brink of success--even as she and Jeff approach the darkest brink of disaster. Jeff understands that what the righteous really dread is a world with no sinners, but he and Kim cannot quite grasp the cost of truly living as they please. This book is also in print.

Not Easy Being Green
Finding a dead mouse in the lab is not usually such a big deal. But when the lab is a Biosafety Level-3 containment facility designed to keep things in and out, and when the mouse has a brain tumor that shines green under blue light, it’s time to start worrying. When the graduate students start glowing, then it’s time to panic. Especially when they could be spreading a mutant virus in ways no one really understands. Not Easy Being Green is the second in Susy Gage's “lab-lit” series featuring intrepid physicist Lori Barrow, who by historical accident finds herself in charge of her university's biocontainment facility. When she suspects that a virus that makes cells fluoresce is escaping from the lab, her first thought is to blame the motley crew of bumbling theorists trying to learn biology. But investigation reveals something even more sinister: an unscrupulous researcher with an illegal clinic preying on everyone from the vain to the desperate.
