Jacob Lazerson is a retired mathematics professor and Orthodox Jew whose self-appointed mission in the last years of his life is to reconcile mathematics and science with codes hidden in the text of the Hebrew Bible. From the impoverished apartment he shares with his supportive wife, Sarah, in a tightly knit Chassidic community located in an ethnically diverse neighborhood in Montreal, Jacob runs an elaborate computer program that he has invented to unravel the key to life itself. This key, he's certain, is contained in the form of DNA codes originally encoded in God's blueprint for the physical universe, the Hebrew Bible. He is equally sure that his efforts will be rewarded with no less than the onset of the Messianic Age: a time when peace and love will banish evil from the entire human family. When the Covid-19 pandemic brings suffering and death to the world, and into Jacob's own house, his mission becomes more urgent.
After George Wickham is found tied up, naked, on the Austen University Campus Square, President de Bourgh gives student journalist Lizzy Bennet an ultimatum: Find out who committed the crime, or be expelled from the school. Lizzy must team up with some old friends (like the Austen Murder Club) and some new (like...Karoline Bingley?) to get to the bottom of the truth.Complicating matters is the fact that the prime suspect is Fo-Hian Darcy. Darcy and Lizzy have a messy history, but even so, Lizzy just can't accept that Darcy committed the crime. An anonymous whistleblower tips off Lizzy about a secret website called the Portraits of Pemberley that may help her get to the bottom of the mystery--but discovering the truth about who's involved may very well challenge everything that Lizzy believes.The Portraits of Pemberley is Book 2 of the Austen University Mysteries series but can be read as a standalone novel. It combines plot points of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice with Sense and Sensibility (and characters from all of Austen's novels) in a modern-university setting, with mysteries.
To death and to the dragon born.Being an executioner for the state is exhausting, but after a lifetime of dispatching the criminal and the inconvenient, fifty-eight-year-old Grenda finds it does have its compensations. Her cat-sized dragon Bjartur and the dragon eggs she tends are all the friends and family she needs. Completely cut off from the outside world, she happily accepts the luxuries owed her status - including a pet octopus named Morrigan - without the faintest twinge of conscience or doubt.All that changes when she encounters the most unexpected nemesis: a young refugee girl whom Grenda is incapable of executing. Against her will, Grenda finds herself shifting from killer to caretaker, risking her life to defy the state she's never questioned and help young Allora to freedom. Everything Grenda thinks she knows about her world, her life, and even her own identity cascades out of her control-including the dragon-bond she holds dearer than life itself.
