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.

Quotes by Laury Silvers  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“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
