Book Description by Author:

Julie Simpson has the perfect life; a loving husband, beautiful twin daughters, and the kind of loving parents others can only dream about. Yet, it's true; she sometimes has a niggling suspicion that her mum and dad might not be her real parents. To her amazement and horror, Julie discovers her fears are well-founded; they are not her birth parents. Even worse, she learns they’d played a part in her abduction when she was just a baby.

 

Julie longs for the truth, but she’s reluctant to start anything which might result in her mum and dad being prosecuted for her abduction. Despite what they may have done, she can’t help remembering her wonderful, happy childhood. She still loves them and wants to protect them but, ultimately, the need to know her roots wins. Secretly, she searches for her birth parents, but digging in the past brings her unexpected danger; a real threat of harm. Will she find this out before it’s too late?

About the Author:

Carole Parkes is a wife of 51 years, a mother of three sons, and a grandmother. She first ventured into writing in 1985 when her children were still at home. She wrote a series of children's books, some short stories, and a novel 'Tissue of Lies'.

 

Much later, she became interested in her roots, so she stopped writing fiction and for many years wrote about her family's history instead.

 

Caring for her elderly parents and her husband, who had suffered a serious heart attack at the age of forty-three, took up a huge chunk of her middle years. After her parents both passed away, aged ninety-seven and ninety-four, Carole rewrote 'Tissue of Lies' to bring it up to date and self published it as an eBook on Amazon. Tissue of Lies is doing well averaging 4.3 star reviews and is due out in paperback during March 2017.

 

Now she has a second eBook, co-authored with Doug Lafuze. 'Your Last Breath' is a much darker thriller than her first one, and it has been well received with 10 out its 12 reviews attracting 5 stars on Amazon. It has just been published in paperback format, and is available now from Amazon and other major book stores.
