    About this ebook

    Alexander had not spoken to his parents for more than 20 years, yet the news of their sudden deaths comes like a bolt from the blue. The loss forces him to address what's missing in his otherwise perfect life - an acknowledgement from them of his accomplishments… But how can that be provided from beyond the grave and what is the significance of The Gift Room? Will Alexander finally be able to find the peace of mind that has eluded him for almost all of his adult life?

    Nicholas Faulkner

    Nicholas Faulkner is a chartered surveyor and has lived in rural Hampshire for the last 25 years. He occasionally lectures on property law and acts as an expert witness. His first book, A Dream To Die For, was published in 2014. He is married to Gloria and spends his spare time gardening, travelling with his family and keeping up with current affairs. Writing fiction has become a source of relaxation and enjoyment and an outlet for a creative side which he hasn’t exercised for many years. He is currently writing his third novel.
