Author also writes as Jayne Green

Laury Silvers is a North American Muslim, raised in the United States but finally at home in Canada. She writes historical mysteries set in medieval Muslim lands and contemporary thrillers set in Toronto under the name "Jayne Green."

The Ghazi Ammar Medieval Mysteries are the spin-off series from The Sufi Mysteries Quartet. History moves into the background and mystery moves up front, Ammar and Zaytuna trade quips and solve crimes in medieval Baghdad.

The Toronto Thrillers, written under the name Jayne Green are emotionally layered and plot-twisty, and on the left side of things politically. No need to sell your emotional or political soul to enjoy a trashy thriller. Disgraced out now.

No one writes Westerns like Jibril Stevenson. Absolutely cinematic. You are in the thick of it. You can hear it. You can see it. You can smell it. But you feel it because of his compelling characters. Zulfiqar Jaffrey hits that Western ideal of a man ...more

"I was a big fan of the Sufi Mysteries, so I was thrilled when Laury Silvers came out with this new series focused on my favorite character, Ghazi Ammar (though the whole cast from the Sufi Mysteries make their appearances). Ammar has left the police " Read more of this review »

Authors writing side characters so well that they deserve their own books needs to happen more often. We first met Ammar in the Sufi Quartet - Ghazi, police officer, loyal friend. In Some Justice A" Read more of this review »

I’ve never been a reader of sci-fi and fantasy as I find the nerdery slow to wade through. But Departure’s sci-fi world-building feels organic. There's a light touch to the world-building, you don't typically find in novels like this and it's really ...more

“But as sure as God is the Withholder”
Laury Silvers, The Lover

“Uncle Abu al-Qasim taught them all to hide their mystical states. They should speak so that outsiders would not understand. They should control themselves even when it was just them, especially during their remembrance ceremonies, the sama, when the music and poetry mystically transported them into the arms of the divine Beloved. But Uncle Nuri called for the seekers to speak the truth, whatever the consequences.”
Laury Silvers, The Lover
