 Plane of the Ecliptic by Karen Estes
In Karen Estes' Plane Of The Ecliptic, librarian Maggie believes her existence to be as orderly as the books on her library shelves. But her perfect life is shattered on the night she experiences a mystifying tie to her newborn granddaughter. When she becomes obsessed with haunting dreams of two young girls in seventeenth-century Scotland, Maggie wonders if it's all a case of synchronicity, genetic memory, or reincarnation. Ultimately, she discovers how lives can be intertwined beyond the veil of time and space. Filled with intrigue and inspiration, Plane of the Ecliptic presents a unique look at an ordinary woman's surrender to meaning in her life. "Estes' debut novel traces the mysterious unraveling of a woman's neat, well-ordered life as dream and reality merge in strange and unexpected ways," says Kirkus Review.

 Treaties and Treachery by Kurt R. Nelson
Law enforcement officer, lecturer, and lover of history Kurt R. Nelson, brings a wealth of experience to his writing. In Treaties and Treachery, Nelson explores the seven years of 1853-1859, one of the most deeply defining periods in Pacific Northwest history, when the Oregon Territory was carved into states, and most Indian tribes signed treaties defining who they would become, and how they would live with their white neighbors. While battles occurred in other years, in no other period was our entire region engulfed in conflict. Treaties and Treachery helps us to understand how we arrived at the problems we face today, and how our history directs our future. "This interesting narrative history ... draws on a wealth of primary and secondary source material and includes numerous photographs and maps," says Book News Annotation.
 Nelson's previous book, Fighting for Paradise: A Military History of the Pacific Northwest is a comprehensive military history of the Pacific Northwest, from early European contact through the "Pig War," the Whitman Massacre, the Sheepeater's War, and other defining battles, and also explores Pacific Northwest contributions to the Spanish-American and Philippine-American Wars, the Mexican Punitive Expedition, WWI and WWII.
