Book Update

Tracey L. Higley is the author of several amazing books including Pompeii, Guardian of the Flame, City of the Dead and Marduk's Tablet. I'm currently reading her newest release, Garden of Madness, and so far it's great! I think it's her best work so far and hope to have a review up soon.

In November of this year Thomas Nelson will be re releasing the first book in her Seven Wonders series Shadow of Colossus and the new cover is so absolutely gorgeous that I had to share it. The book will be released as Isle of Shadows and I think the new title fits perfectly with all the lies and intrigue swirling around ancient Rhodes.


As a courtesan, Tessa of Delos enjoyed unparalleled luxury and influence. But even in the grand palaces of Rhodes, she felt herself a prisoner.

On the island of Rhodes, 227 BC, Tessa of Delos has served for ten years as a hetaira-a high-priced Greek courtesan-to a wealthy politician. In that time, she's lived in luxury, but as a virtual prisoner, serving at her master's whim. Though intelligent and beautiful, Tessa has learned to numb herself to all desires for freedom and love.


But when her owner meets a violent death, Tessa is given the chance to be free-if she can hide the truth of his death and maintain a masquerade until escape is possible. She joins forces with unlikely allies-a Hebrew houservant named Simeon and Nikos, a seafarer who wants to work in the house of Tessa's owner.


As Tessa seeks freedom for herself and for those she is beginning to love, forces collide that will literally shatter the island's peace, bringing even the mighty statue of Rhodes, Colossus, to its knees.

A powerful story showing how the love of God can transform and bring back to life a soul jaded by sin and grief.

Please let me know if there's anything I could do that would make my blog more appealing. Can you read the font color? Is it too small? Anything that you didn't care for? I'd appreciate any feedback so I can make improvements. Thanks!!!
