A Pair of Aces
It's Labor Day here in the U.S. I hope you're all having a great holiday!
The summer sales of my books are now history. Thanks to those of you who helped give each of them a social media boost. I appreciate it very much.
So now it's my turn to help a couple of writing buddies, Mark Noce and Lynda R. Young. You'll read about each of their books below. But first, think about their two titles.
Mark's: Between Two Fires
Lynda's: Cling to God
Now put those titles together:
Between Two Fires, Cling to God
Between Two Fires? Cling to God
Cling to God Between Two Fires
I love the things that happen while playing with words.
I'm still editing, so read about these two books below and enjoy!
My friend Mark Noce has a new book out called BETWEEN TWO FIRES. I'm reading it now - about 100 pages to go. I love it! The story is great and the writing wonderful. I wish Mark all the best with his debut novel!
Next up is Lynda R. Young. CLING TO GOD is a daily devotional. Think about how perfect this is for a gift. Birthday, Christmas, graduation. It's multi-functional. Better yet, it will never go out of date. It's the gift that keeps on giving!
Cling to God in the chaos of life…
Cling to God is a book of devotionals for every day of the year. The aim is to encourage Christians in their faith, to help them think about their beliefs and learn more about God. The devotions are short and inspirational so that people with busy lifestyles will still be able to spend time with the Lord each day. It will appeal to a wide Christian audience, to those new in their faith as well as those matured beyond milk and honey.
Lynda R. Young, a Christian first, writes devotionals, articles, and speculative short stories. In her spare time she is also an editor, game developer, artist, and dabbles in photography and all things creative. She lives in Australia with her sweetheart of a husband.

Saxon barbarians threaten to destroy medieval Wales. Lady Branwen becomes Wales’ last hope to unite their divided kingdoms when her father betroths her to a powerful Welsh warlord, the Hammer King.
But this fledgling alliance is fraught with enemies from within and without as Branwen herself becomes the target of assassinations and courtly intrigue. A young woman in a world of fierce warriors, she seeks to assert her own authority and preserve Wales against the barbarians. But when she falls for a young hedge knight named Artagan her world threatens to tear itself apart. Caught between her duty to her people and her love of a man she cannot have, Branwen must choose whether to preserve her royal marriage or to follow her heart. Somehow she must save her people and remain true to herself, before Saxon invaders and a mysterious traitor try to destroy her.
“A spirited ride through a turbulent slice of Welsh history!” –
Paula Brackston, NYT Bestselling author of The Witch’s Daughter
“A fast-paced read that has a wonderfully visual style and some memorable characters. Mark Noce combines Welsh history with a touch of folkloric magic in this promising debut novel. Lady Branwen is a strong and engaging narrator and the turbulent setting of early medieval Wales makes a fine backdrop for an action-packed story.” – Juliet Marillier, Bestselling author of Daughter of the Forest and Wolfskin
Mark Noce writes historical fiction with a passion, and eagerly reads everything from fantasy to literature. Born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, he’s an avid traveler and backpacker, particularly in Europe and North America. He earned his BA and MA from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, where he also met his beautiful wife. By day, he works as a Technical Writer, having spent much of his career at places like Google and Facebook. In addition to writing novels, he also writes short fiction online. When not reading or writing, he’s probably listening to U2, sailing his dad’s boat, or gardening with his family.
His debut novel, Between Two Fires, is being published by Thomas Dunne Books (an imprint of St. Martin's Press and Macmillan). It is the first in a series of historical fiction novels set in medieval Wales.
Next up is Lynda R. Young. CLING TO GOD is a daily devotional. Think about how perfect this is for a gift. Birthday, Christmas, graduation. It's multi-functional. Better yet, it will never go out of date. It's the gift that keeps on giving!
