Following on from the success of her novels ‘Secrets Mothers Keep’ and ‘Wishes For Starlight’, author Linda J. Bettenay will share the inspiration and stories behind her recently released book. ‘The Apple Core Wars’ is a tale based on the astounding war experiences of Charlie Parkin, one of seven brothers to serve during WW2. Charlie’s boyhood enemy is Jacky Bellamy from nearby Karragullen. Their rivalry, and childhood dislike, morph into mateship as they become POW’s and face unspeakable ordeals. By the end of the war, Jackie and Charlie found they had more in common than divided them.
