The Year-God's Daughter by Rebecca Lochlann

Will post a link to it here when it’s published. I’m currently finishing a highly personal book: Betting on Bernie, a memoir of a marriage. My work-in-progress is The Ruby Ring, which will complete the sprawling and suspenseful first-century family saga that I call The Ruby-Viper Trilogy. On this side… with a passion for travel to ancient places that dates back to my childhood (see the photos below), it’s no wonder that I write historical novels like Rubies of the Viper and The Viper Amulet. “The characters in RUBIES OF THE VIPER achieve the rare status of being ‘real.’ Highly recommended.” -Rebecca Lochlann, author of The Year-God’s Daughter and The Thinara King.ĪBOUT MARTHA MARKS I’m a former college professor with a two-sided creative life. Louisa Locke, author of the Victorian San Francisco Mystery Series “A fast-paced, suspenseful and romantic historical novel and a totally satisfying read.” -M. A remarkable work!” -Cheri Lasota, author of Artemis Rising and Echoes in the Glass “If you love historical fiction that will grab you by the jugular and not let go until you’ve devoured the last page, this novel is for you. I HIGHLY recommend this book.” -Patricia Goodspeed, Amazon Vine Voice “I ordered this book after seeing all the five star reviews. Yes, it is that good.” -Rhonda Esakov for Story Circle Book Reviews “If I were to select a book of the year to read, RUBIES OF THE VIPER would be in the running for top choice. Martha Marks takes us there with this superb novel and leaves us eager for the next installment!” -Grady Harp, Top 100 Reviewer, Amazon “Powerful, evocative visit to ancient Rome.

I highly recommend RUBIES OF THE VIPER, and I am looking forward to the other two volumes in the trilogy.” -Vicki Kondelik, Librarian, University of Michigan The scenes set in Greece and Syria are beautifully written, as well. She gives us details about life at all levels of Roman society, from patricians to slaves, and she takes us to a great variety of locations, from Theodosia’s estate to an underground prison cell, to a musical competition at Nero’s palace. Her lifelong love of ancient Rome shines through in this novel. BOOK #1: Rubies of the Viper Amazon: 4 of 5 stars / 260+ reviews Goodreads: 3.5 of 5 stars / 300+ ratings/reviews
