Can you recommend good Jewish Published and authored historical novels?
I have read most of Leah Gebbers, which I loved.
Read some of Etka Gittel Schwartz's Novels

Avner Gold books are amazing. I love his depiction of details, it makes you feel as if you're there.

But not very accurate. Enjoyable. On a middle school level.

A few of Meir Uri Gottesman's books have a good chunk of historical fiction in them, especially Morning Star. The Harp was much more difficult to read, but I heard good things about The Chase and also liked The Shul Boy (multiple time periods).
Some of the Gershon Kranzler books are good too, thinking particularly about The Broken Bracelet and Bustenai.
I love Meir Baram even though his books are geared for a younger age. (The Kingdom Didn't Fall, The Stone of the Altar...)
Nezirah is also a solid book.
You might also like Every Man a Slave (Sender Zeyv).

Sun Inside Rain set during apartheid in South Africa. I think the author is M Basara or something like that.

The Exiles of Crocodile Island is one of my favorite books but it's not much history at all

Hence Meyer has written 4 or 5 historical novels, very well researched. Fall of the sun god is set in the period of the crusades and is pretty fascinating.
