I’m excited to introduce you to debut author, Mark Fisher, author of The Bonfires of Beltane, a new Christian historical novel set in the Ireland of AD 432. I know you’ll enjoy getting acquainted with Mark and entering to win a print copy of his book! The giveaway begins July 29th!
Fabulous Friday
In A.D. 432, when Taran questions the druids’ practice of child sacrifice, they banish him from his island home to the sea. Leaving his betrothed behind, he lands in ancient, Celtic Ireland, where he meets the Roman evangelist Patrick. Together, they fight the druids’ spiritual darkness and bring the gospel to a pagan land long ruled by powerful kings and tradition. Yet Taran longs to return home to his beloved Laurna.
If you love historical fiction, set in medieval times, The Bonfires of Beltane is a must-read!
Mark Fisher wrote his first twelve pages at the age of ten, complete with drawings of a prairie fire, Indians, and a stampede. More recently he’s been writing Christian historical fiction in an early medieval setting. His writing career only began in earnest after his baptism into Christianity, after twenty-eight years working for IBM as a computer programmer, and after completing a Masters of Ministry. Mark and his wife like to travel, with recent trips to Japan, Ireland, Italy, and France. When he’s not working for the church he helped plant in 2013, he’s walking his dog or at his desk writing.
Norma, what an intriguing sounding book; the cover is beautiful too. I’d love to win a copy of it. I’ll share this post, as I’m sure others would like to enter the draw too.
