#ShowItOffSaturday AUTHOR Julian D. Parrott – Fit for Purpose

From a review: Fit For Purpose is a beautiful novel with a heart-wrenching story. If this cover doesn’t raise your temperature a few degrees, the story will. Grab a fan before reading this one, because it really heats up. This is such a lovely book. The author writes characters that make you feel as if you literally stepped into the pages of her book. Characters are definitely the strong point of the novel. It does take a while to untangle them in the beginning but read carefully and persevere, it’s worth it. A lot of it is predictable but it doesn’t detract from the story at all, since it’s written with humor, entertaining situations and interesting characters. It is fiction geared toward women, but the message is one we all need to be reminded of in our age of snap judgments & ready condemnations don’t judge someone till you have walked a mile in their shoes and while at times the story is entertaining, sometimes it’s a long mile. It turned out to be more elaborate and interesting. As with all endings, there are things that need to be tied up, and the author did this nicely. It was well-paced, and the reader gets closure. It goes down like an ice-cold guilty pleasure on a hot beach-reading day. This book is perfect for those looking for an easy summer beach read. If you enjoy hard fiction, you will definitely love this book. Even if you think you are not interested in a heavy story, pacing and the optimism of the writing is more than enough to make this book a wonderful, exciting read. To cut the story short, this is an outstanding novel with a powerful story that will keep you up all the night in a highly entertaining way.”

ABOUT AUTHOR Julian D. Parrott

Author Julian D. Parrott

I have been writing for decades but never found the plot that would drive me to complete a novel. I had started classic spy thrillers, historical novels, and even a world war two espionage romance but then after a vacation traversing the Llangollen Canal on a narrowboat I was inspired. As I crossed one of the canal’s aqueducts, I thought wouldn’t this make a great scene for a thriller novel and I thought, why not write such a scene. Thinking about the scene led me to develop the characters who would eventually find themselves through twists of fate all being pulled into a life-changing event on the aqueduct where lives and relationships would be threatened. With one of the novel’s pivotal scenes in mind I needed to open the novel with introductions to the main characters and as I began to draft Nia she kind of took off, she wrote herself a much larger, more important role and added, not only romance, but depth to the novel.
