{"title":"Nancy Young","description":"Nancy Young strives to entertain, whether co-hosting poetry readings, supplying interesting aliases at restaurants, or storytelling at Renaissance fairs. Although she grew up on the Philadelphia Main Line, she now lives in North Carolina, where she never runs out of material to jump start her novels, short stories, plays, and poems. Her first publication was at age six, when her lion story was posted outside her first grade classroom. From then on, she was hooked, penning neighborhood dramas, improbable adventure tales, and Gothic romances through her youth. That love of the absurd and quirky never left her. It also served her well for most of her professional life. Nancy taught literature, film, and writing at various colleges, earning awards for her instruction. She also worked as a journalist, newspaper editor, choir director, and mother. She married her high school sweetheart, with whom she shares three sons, a daughter, and a daughter-in-law. She counts them as her most devoted fans.","products":[{"product_id":"seeing-things-paperback-3","title":"Seeing Things - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn a world where virtual reality and the supernatural eclipse the real world, Mary Catherine Livingston finds herself trapped teaching students who'd rather text than compose, placating a husband who'd prefer to surf porn, and nurturing a teen that wants to be left alone. So she does what any woman would do--no, not move to Italy to gobble pasta or embark on a road trip with a cadre of kooky females. She moves to a haunted mansion and takes up ghost hunting. Seeing Things is set in Philadelphia's blue-blooded Main Line, where the past just refuses to die. Dark humor, passion, and outright terror meld in a spine-chilling, life-affirming tale of a woman's supernatural voyage of self-discovery and her rekindled ability to love.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68225387692255,"sku":"9781629891446","price":16.18,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0813\/8958\/4607\/files\/ZbqERQEpdR9781629891446.webp?v=1792594325"},{"product_id":"home-a-vikings-heart-paperback","title":"Home: A Viking's Heart - Paperback","description":"\u003cp\u003eThey had come! The men in the dragon ships from the North. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter the death of her father, Eislyn is left to manage her family estate on the coast of Wales, a role she enjoys but knows she can't keep forever, as tenth century protocol dictates that she must marry so there is a lord of the manor. But there is a problem. Eislyn is unwilling to marry for duty, only love, and her most persistent suitor is her nearest neighbor. Widowed and considerably older than Eislyn, Sir Jonas will stop at nothing to acquire her as his bride, but most importantly her prosperous estate as his own. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeanwhile, a young Viking named Torben, is heading across the Irish Sea to meet Eislyn, carrying with him a marriage contract signed by her father and blessed by the king of Wales. Torben seems charming enough, but Eislyn is on guard; after all, Vikings are all ruthless enemies. Or are they?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs Torben and Eislyn get to know each other-and she continues to refuse to marry for any reason but love-there are those plotting to keep them apart, including Alva, the new lady of the manor, and the vengeful jilted suitor Sir Jonas. And at times even Eislyn herself thwarts her own chances at happiness. It is ultimately her trust in God that gets her through each trial and circumstance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWill Eislyn be forced to marry Sir Jonas?
