Book Buzz presents Author Marcia Lee Laycock's One Smooth Stone

When 21-year-old Alex sees an outboard beach just below his isolated Yukon cabin, he’s apprehensive. But little does he know how the appearance of lawyer George Bronsky from Seattle will change his life. Against better judgment he leaves with George and is soon facing not only his old demons but discovering new ones. He’s quickly on the lam again.

And so in One Smooth Stone, a debut novel by Canadian author Marcia Lee Laycock, we have the tale of a young man fleeing from his past only to encounter Someone who keeps dogging his steps at every turn.

Laycock’s plot is twisty and fast-paced with trouble heaped upon trouble. Major characters Alex and Kenni are complex and sympathetic, minors Bill and Ruby brilliant in their blackness. Laycock’s own experience of living in the north shows through in her plausible portrayal of Yukon life with its coterie of colorful people. The isolation sets off the rugged players and fits this somber story well.

For a somber tale it is, dealing with abuse (physical and sexual), abortion, family – and lack of it – anger, revenge and, finally, forgiveness and a new beginning. The book is boldly Christian in its answers and the reader is left with an aftertaste of hope.

~ One Smooth Stone would make a perfect Christmas stocking stuffer and a lively winter companion. Reviewed by: Violet Nesdoly blog: http://vnesdoly.blogspot.com/

~ Joanna Mallory wrote – “I have to say, One Smooth Stone is one of the best novels I've read this year. Settings rich in detail, and a heart rich in compassion for hurting characters.”

Rehearsing for Heaven by Mark B. Reed is a fascinating, intriguing, informative and captivating read that will answer the important questions about eternal life and heaven. Author Mark B. Reed unravels the common lore surrounding heaven, enabling you to understand the purpose of creation, who you are, who God is and sheds light on the purpose of life here on this earth.

Through sound scriptural application, the mystery of heaven is revealed through clear and concise doctrine that answers crucial questions. Providing hope and inspiration for this life and the life hereafter, the author with his compelling scenarios and explanations will provide you with just some of the following:

A clear view of the majesty of heaven;
A deeper understanding and knowledge of the character of God;
A clear view of heaven’s values versus earthly temporal values;
The path to heaven;
Refocus your perspective about life here on earth;
Provide stability and hope for everyday life and a victorious future;
Reveal your destiny in God;
And much, much more.

“We choose to live for time or live for eternity”, states Reed (p. 108). I heard a pastor once say how sad it was that there were people on this earth just “existing.” Let this inspiring book bless you with the knowledge that life is not about just existing.

This book will re-focus your attention on preparing a life that is worthy of “heaven’s stage”, that is “unshakeable” and not perishable. Each one of us has a destiny that is predestined in God.

In this book, you will find that heaven is the ultimate goal of this life and that there is much more to living on this earth than just living. This book will help you realign your life according to heaven’s values. Life is the ”rehearsal for heaven”, come see why this is a true-to-life theme that cannot be overlooked.

This well written biblically based book will fill your heart with faith, increase your understanding and provide you with the life changing knowledge that will give you the tools to overcome life’s hurdles and find the victory that is yours through Christ.

Be prepared to take a journey filled with wise counsel that if received can be life changing and provide you with the keys to unlock life’s doors that will empower you to live a victorious, abundant life, while preparing you for eternity in heaven.

The Full Time Author And Book Promoter

If the title of this post caught your attention, you are either pursuing a full time career as a author or you are fast in the river of such. Within that river of desire and creativity is also the hopes for book sales which requires either paying for marketing and promotions or being a self promoting author. Authoring and publishing a book is a world in it's self. Now throw online marketing and book promotions into the mix and life gets both intense and challenging.

Many authors believe that after they publish their book that the author promotions and marketing will come easy. Yet if you spend some time at some author forums and groups interacting with other authors, you will find that many authors are struggling when it comes to book sales. In fact, a very large percentage are.

A question. Are you a author or a book promoter? Are you pursuing a career as a successful author or as a marketing expert? You see, there's a huge difference.

While it is good for a author to self promote and market his or her books, it is also wise to set aside a marketing budget and seek out a professional to help you market and promote your books.
