About Bright Lies:
She thought she had the perfect stepfather. So why is she running for her life?
Emily longs to be an artist. She’s thrilled when her famous and talented stepfather offers to be her mentor. But he starts teaching her things a schoolgirl shouldn’t know, and she flees in his mansion in terror.
Bad boy Jack has finally made good. Working as a DJ with ambitions to open a club, he rescues Emily from the streets when he sees a woman in danger. He doesn’t know she’s only 15 and running from a deadly predator.
Emily’s hopes of safety are crushed when her stepfather hunts her down, intent on silencing her. Now Jack faces the hardest choice of all. If he protects Emily from the fiend who’s stolen her childhood, he’ll kiss goodbye to his future.

Author Bio:
I’m British crime thriller writer A.A. Abbott – known to friends as Helen – and I believe a good read is one of life’s greatest pleasures.
I write fast-paced suspense thrillers set in the British cities of London, Bristol and Birmingham. As a city girl, I’ve lived and worked in all of them. I also know the beautiful countryside of North Somerset well, and that’s where my latest story begins. By far my darkest book yet, psychological thriller ‘Bright Lies’ follows runaway teenager Emily from a country mansion to a city squat, as she flees the stepfather who’s gotten too close.
Like 10% of us, many of my family are dyslexic. While I’m not, I want my books to be enjoyed by readers with dyslexia and visual impairment too. That’s why ‘Bright Lies’ is published as an audiobook too, narrated by the talented Eilidh Beaton. It’s also available in large print – including a dyslexia-friendly sans serif edition – as well as in standard paperback and Kindle versions. Don’t forget, you can also adjust the font on your Kindle to suit your needs.
I like speaking to book groups, business networks and social circles, and reading my thrillers and short stories at live fiction events and on Zoom. If you’re a book blogger, litfest organiser, reviewer or simply adore books, I’d love to hear from you.
It’s important to me to write books that readers will love, so I get lots of help from fellow writers, beta readers and my editor, Katharine D’Souza. I’m a member of the Alliance of Independent Authors, Bristol Fiction Writers’ Group, Birmingham’s New Street Authors and numerous Facebook readers’ groups. It’s a privilege to be part of such a great community of readers and writers!
