PREMIUM PROMOTIONAL SERVICES BOOK REVIEW:
Title: Private Lives
Author: Simon Marshland
ISBN: 978-1-905809-52-3
Genre: Literary Fiction
Pages: 254
Reviewed By: Brian Knight
Official Premium Promotional Services Rating:
Charlie Parker, Billy Kite and James Pewsey share more then a secret - they share the same fate.
Full of turmoil and massive confusion, Charlie attempts to deal with the death of the woman he adored and missing child. In a state of grief, he battles with his emotions while the FBI search endlessly for his kidnapped daughter. Reality mixes with improbabilities, and yet it is imperative for him to decipher right from wrong, especially when Billy Kite and James Pewsey come calling. Now it seems the truth is blurred with imagination, but he knows that neither truth nor honesty will save his child. An obsessive reality his daughter must be found is the only thing that matters.
Charlie comes from a humble middle class family. His mentor and friend while growing up is his grandpa, whom shares a lifetime of wisdom—engraved knowledge that Charlie later in life, puts into practice.
Charlie has an adventurous journey as a bachelor. He loves his single lifestyle, until one day, with just one look, his life changes forever—he falls madly in love with a beautiful young woman who shortly after becomes his wife. The tailspin affect she has on him doesn’t stop with just adoring love but through her family name changes his career and financial state forever as he soon discovers she is both gorgeous and extremely wealthy.
Together, they journey through life, but not without the unexpected times that his two friends try to take over.
“Private Lives” delivers the full range of emotions. The reader will find themselves laughing one minute and crying the next—and be ready to fight soon after. The author, Simon Marshland displays a great command of pace and character development throughout the story. Marshland entwines the multiple characters
with fascinating plots and detailed settings into a symphony that the reader will cherish. The British twist on word usage only adds to the flavor of this riveting story.
I highly recommend this intriguing tale of Charlie Parker for those who enjoy a roller coaster ride of emotions on every page. “Private Lives” is a book to keep on your shelf as you will want to read it over and over again. “Pirate Lives” is one of those novels that will surely show you something new each time you read it...and you will want to read it more then once.

Viewpoint
My reason for publishing Viewpoint below is because it is the same viewpoint that led me to write my new book Private Lives. Of course Private Lives is a work of fiction and as such its purpose is to tell as good a story as possible without bothering the reader with personally held convictions, and so the main character dismisses his flashbacks to previous lives as mental aberrations. But should the book ignite a flicker of interest in the subject of reincarnation I thought it only fair to set o… Continue

Have We Lived Before
Have we lived before, do we all have other life experiences we no longer remember. It is certainly a compelling possibility and one that I have chosen as the theme in my new book Private Lives.
The concept of reincarnation, that of an individual dying and then being reborn into another body, has existed in various religions for at least 3,000 years. It has now spread to the point that there are probably more people alive who believe in reincarnation than do not. Hinduism, Buddhism, Taoism are a… Continue
