A richly atmospheric historical gothic novel about memory, choice, and history forgotten, The Keeper of Forgotten Lives is a story of quiet courage, difficult decisions, guilt, and the true cost of the life she chose.
She has lived for five centuries. She has watched kingdoms rise and fall, languages disappear, and cities rebuild themselves upon the ruins of those that came before. She asks for nothing except the freedom to preserve the forgotten stories of ordinary people, believing that memory is sometimes the greatest gift of all.
When a chance discovery leads her to a hidden Roman study beneath the streets of London, she believes she has found the greatest historical treasure of her long life.
Then she meets Edmund Ashcombe.
Only thirteen, destined for a future already chosen by his family and the Church, Edmund possesses the same patient curiosity that has guided Eleanor for five hundred years. As their shared search uncovers the remarkable legacy of a forgotten Roman scholar, an unlikely friendship begins to grow.
Yet Eleanor carries a secret older than memory itself.
Before she can entrust Edmund with that secret, she must answer one impossible question.
Is the greatest gift she was ever given one that should be passed on... or protected forever?
This book doesn't announce itself. It invites the reader in.
History remembers kings. She remembers everyone else.

Acerca del autor
After the tragic loss of my girlfriend as a teenager, I sought an escape. My pub upbringing introduced me to a traveling gypsy family, and they allowed me to join their journey under one condition: I had to contribute. Soon, they discovered my talent for spontaneous storytelling, known as "pantsing."
In villages and towns, I showcased this gift, crafting stories based on audience suggestions after Mahala's performances. My dyslexia prevented me from pursuing writing as a profession, given the cost of ghostwriters and publishing.
Now, with five children and a 50th birthday surprise, a daughter, now a young teenager, I've told countless imaginative bedtime stories based on their prompts.
Reflecting on my time with the gypsy family, I've realised the profound impact of storytelling on people, contemplating the possibility of chronicling that journey someday.
During my 30s and 40s, I occasionally returned to the stage for charity events, fueled by my love of storytelling. My daughter encouraged me to channel that passion into writing, which led to the creation of my first series, *Bella*, named after my daughter, under the pen name Barrel Coops. Remarkably, I wrote the five-book series in just five months, though editing took an additional four months, largely due to my challenges with reading. After receiving extensive feedback and taking several courses, the series was rewritten and published in early 2024.
Despite dyslexia being a constant challenge, I'm committed to writing. I hope my stories will captivate and inspire you, bringing enjoyment to your life.
