Alaskan author Al Green is a well known Northwest Jazz and Blues musician who has delighted his audiences with his unique style and abilities. Known mainly for his work on Trumpet and Saxophone. Bloodlines, his debut novel, centers on life in the Roman world especially Judea leading up to 4 BCE. This freshman effort is the opening book of Tarsean Trinity, a trilogy covering roughly 100 years, ending with the destruction of Jerusalem in 67 AD. “Writing an original story that is tied to a specific chronological set of historical events is rather like improvising a jazz solo over specific chord changes. Within that framework you can go anywhere your imagination takes you.”
