Marie Dorion: Enduring Frontier Legend
In 1811, Marie Dorion, a member of the Iowa people and mother of two boys, joins her husband on a harrowing overland expedition to establish a fur trading post in the Pacific Northwest. While her husband, Pierre, serves as the official translator of the undertaking, Marie soon proves to be his equal as they trade with Native Americans along the way. When their journey is bogged down by the poor decisions of the expedition's leader, who is more businessman than mountain man, the party nearly starves, and Marie is forced to bury her newborn third child in an unmarked grave.
Though they eventually reach the safety of Fort Astoria, Marie's worst ordeal still lies ahead. While trapping in the mountains, her husband is killed in a Native American raid, and Marie struggles to survive the winter with her two sons in a hastily built shelter. When their meager supply of food is depleted, Marie sets out into a blizzard in a desperate attempt to find help, risking a lonely death to save her children's lives.

Bookish
London, 1946 is the dynamic, dangerous and chaotic setting for this stylish new detective drama, with the eccentric Gabriel Book at the very heart of the story: a self-appointed consultant detective to the local police. The thousands of books that line the shelves of his shop provide him with all the knowledge he needs.
Book has gathered around him a host of lovable, damaged misfits whom he informally protects, cajoles, and mentors. His wife Trottie runs the wallpaper shop next door. She's a charismatic adventuress whom Book loves deeply but not physically, for they are in a 'lavender' marriage to help conceal Book's sexual orientation in a time when it was illegal to be gay.
Bookish marries post-war nostalgia with the reckless and life-affirming atmosphere of the times, creating a fast-paced and stylish detective drama.
