December 2013: 
GMTA of North Carolina, USA, plans to publish my latest historical novel: SIX MILLION ACCUSERS: CATCHING ADOLF EICHMANN in 2014!

This summer, GMTA of North Carolina, USA published my latest historical novel
"ANNE OF CLEVES-HENRY'S LUCKIEST WIFE" 
and it is now available from Amazon and elsewhere, either as an ebook or paperback. You are cordially invited to check out the site and buy my book (and help a poor author scribbling away in his lonely garret!) 

Now, before exploring the rest of this site, how about trying to solve this fun no-prizes Shakespeare Quiz?
 Quiz # 10: I presume we all know that "Richard III" opens with "Now is the winter of our discontent..." and that WS wrote "A Winter's Tale, so how about some other wintry quotations.
Who said, and in which context these other cold quotations?
1) "Therefore my age is as a lusty winter, 
    Frosty but kindly."

2) "Fear no more the heat o' the sun,
     Nor the furious winter's rages."


3) "A sad tale's best for winter."


4) "For you there's rosemary and rue; these keep
     Seeming and savour all the winter long.


5) "Here shall we see
    No enemy
    But winter and rough weather."  
Please send your answers to me via my Contacts page on this site or to: wsdavidyoung@gmail.com
 Thank you and enjoy yourselves.
Note: Some of the answers to this quiz may be found in my books which appear elsewhere on this site which can be bought directly from the publisher or Amazon, Barnes & Noble etc.

Read my latest Shakespeare detective novel:
"Will the Real William Shakespeare Please Step Forward?"
Published by Vanguard Press/Pegasus Publishers. Also available from Amazon, B&N etc, in print or Kindle/ Nook
(ISBN: 9781843868491)
This is a detective novel about how four academics decide to solve the ever-current question: Did William Shakespeare, a young man from Stratford-upon-Avon, a small agricultural town one hundred miles away from London, really write the poems, plays and sonnets attributed to his name?
Could these great works have been written instead by a well-educated aristocrat who was too embarrassed to admit he was the author? Could these works have been written by a team of writers? Maybe some of them were even written by a woman! Perhaps his wife had a hand in them! Who knows?
You will if you read this detective novel and learn the truth to: Who really wrote William Shakespeare. 
 
STOP PRESS!!!
