Finding Your Purpose - With Adele Parks.

Meet the delightful Adele Parks, author of 24 internationally bestselling novels, from family dramas, historical sagas to psychological thrillers.  Her latest, Just Between Us, out in paperback at the end of March is an unputdownable page-turner about a missing female bigamist and the two devastated families she has left behind.Having always had a vivid imagination as a child and being fascinated by people, Adele is a born writer. She shares her creative process, from her discipline of daily word count to her tips for character development.  Plus, she shares her secret hack for getting young people to read.  In 2022, she thought it was a prank at first when she was offered an MBE and deleted the email. When she realised it was real, she went to the palace and met the King, receiving her medal for her services to literacy through her charitable work.Very close to her grandparents and great grandparents, Adele tells us the touching story of collecting charms for the precious bracelet they gave her. They also inspired her love of crockery and her hobby of taking vintage plates and adorning them with feminist pictures and slogans. Inspiring, funny and down to earth, Adele says life is not about being happy so much as finding your purpose. Find her on instagram @adele_parks and on X and FacebookTo view our guests' special bits, please follow us on Instagram @showusyourbitspodcast Hosted on Acast.
