Anna of Arimathea: Christian Biblical Historical Fiction Novel Set In First Century
Some wounds are carried in silence. Some healings require more than medicine.
Eighteen-year-old Anna bears the marks of a childhood tragedy that left her motherless, scarred, and lame. Hidden within the household of her father, Joseph of Arimathea, a wealthy councilman of the Sanhedrin, her days are measured in herb gardens and healing tinctures, in the steady work of hands trained to help others, and in the quiet safety of a world made small.
Then Andrew of Bethsaida arrives at her father's gate with urgent business for Joseph and talk of a teacher who calls ordinary people to extraordinary purpose. A fisherman turned disciple, Andrew follows the rabbi Jesus with a conviction that unsettles every long-held expectation-including Anna's own.
When Andrew's kindness cracks open the door to a larger world, Anna faces an impossible choice: remain in the safety of her father's estate or risk everything for the possibility of healing, love, and a life she never dared imagine.
Set against the dusty roads and fishing villages of first-century Judea, where miracles unfold and mercy walks among the broken, Anna of Arimathea opens The Arimathea Chronicles-a richly imagined tale of faith, first love, and redemption in the footsteps of the Messiah.
Anna of Arimathea is perfect for readers who love:
- Biblical and historical fiction with rich period detail
- Redemptive love stories that explore the cost of faith
- Immersive historical worlds
- Characters who choose courage over comfort

Heart Work of Modern Leadership: 6 Differentiators of Exceptional Leaders
Turbulent times call for exceptional leadership.
Are you ready?
In his sixth book, organizational change and communication strategist David Grossman offers a groundbreaking exploration of the leader's role in our era of unprecedented complexity.
Drawing on research with his longtime partner, The Harris Poll, Grossman reveals a troubling truth: Only 30% of leaders meet the fast-evolving needs of today's workforce.
In The Heart Work of Modern Leadership, Grossman illuminates the mounting pressures facing the C-suite--with shareholder value, AI-driven possibilities, geopolitical disruptions, and more.
The good news is, it's not an impossible job.
Grossman identifies an adaptive mindset that helps executives thrive in today's rapidly changing environments. Specifically, he cites that exceptional leaders integrate emotional intelligence with strategic thinking. Grossman calls this "leading with their heart in their head."
What does that look like in practice? Compassion with calculation. Empathy with analysis. Values with decisions. And what is the impact? Greater, more sustainable performance throughout the organization.
At the book's core are rare glimpses into twenty-nine founders and executives--each one an exceptional leader grappling with the accelerating changes of our age.
You'll read about their tough decisions, pivotal choices, and unwavering commitments to their people. You'll discover their shared themes and most practical takeaways. You'll also learn about the six defining behaviors that set these outstanding performers apart.
Your rise from good to great starts now. With The Heart Work of Modern Leadership, you can move beyond simply managing your people and your pressures. You can build employees who thrive. Develop teams that innovate. And guide your organization to its greatest potential.

Finalist in 2024 Foreword Indies Book of the Year (War & Military)
In the wake of Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor, 22-year-old Joe Horiuchi is faced with a decision: volunteer for America's war against the Axis Powers, or reject the country that is locking his fellow Japanese-Americans in internment camps. Where does Joe's loyalty lie? And what is he willing to do for the country that regards him and his people as suspect?
Like the global conflict, Joe's personal war is fought on many fronts. Overcoming his sense of betrayal by his own government, he enlists and joins the 442nd Regimental Combat Team, where he confronts a self-serving senior officer, faces an accusation of murder, lives with the paralyzing terror of waging war, and longs for the girl he left behind.
Will Joe heed his unit's motto, "Go For Broke"? Or will he settle for giving less?
Debut author John Kiyonaga draws on his own father's experience serving with the 442nd RCT, a unit consisting entirely of Japanese-American enlisted soldiers and considered the military's most decorated unit. Expertly weaving fiction with history, Uninvited Valor is the story of men called into brotherhood-and greatness-by circumstances beyond their control, and their decision to go for broke, risking everything for the country that has forsaken them.

Between Sea and Sky
"Warm and rich, full of emotion and human experience... gifts for the soul." Maureen Nery, author of Saving Grace
A young woman crosses continents in a desperate bid to rescue a childhood friend from the confines of an abuse-induced agoraphobia. Under cover of night, an octogenarian sneaks out of her home and goes on the run in a last-ditch attempt to escape those who would make her age a cage. A grandmother seeks connection with a grandchild taken before she was ever known. Women find their strength amid the loss of children, grandchildren, of their own agency and sense of self. With the lyrical language and keen sense of place that readers of Marshall's novels have come to know, these stories transport the reader from the wilds of remote Scottish islands to the swamps of South Carolina.
These are tales of outsiders, of survivors connecting deeply with the natural world-with seas and skies and what lies between. As they battle fear, abuse, mental illness and oppressive societal norms, each of their tales offers us hope and a guide to ways of claiming our fullness even in the most challenging circumstances.

Onyx can shatter, boughs can break, but love can rise victorious.
Ariadne, the Golden Rose and Dhemon Queen, never imagined herself at the head of an army. Now, after walking down the aisle for a second time, she has entangled herself in a game she does not want to play with the King of Valenul. With hardly any time for preparation, she must locate the dhemon ritual, save her husband from an eternal darkness within himself, and lay siege to her own kingdom.
But time is running out for Azriel, the broken and fading Dhemon King. Unable to hold back the images of his wife in the arms of another man or dead in his hands, his bond and mind is in tatters-unreachable by anyone other than Ariadne.

Collecting unlikely allies from across Northern Myridia becomes a critical piece to the puzzle now that their enemy has discovered their secret. Everyone now knows the threat that dragons pose and Valenul is ready. Together, Ariadne and Azriel must use every possible avenue to ensure victory or die trying, because failure guarantees a life of misery.
