   I’m interested in a listing of all of Bodie’s books in chronological order based upon when the story takes place. For example, Zion Chronicles comes before Shiloh Legacies, But where does the AD Chronicles or the Gallway series fit in??? I love that some of the characters overlap or are introduced within earlier stories and want to know the timeline of these historical fictional stories.
