them forever. Unless someone can stop him … Praise for Blood Brothers:

Josephine Cox was born in Blackburn, one of ten children. At the age of
sixteen, Josephine met and married her husband Ken, and had two sons.
When the boys started school, she decided to go to college and
eventually gained a place at Cambridge University. She was unable to
take this up as it would have meant living away from home, but she went
into teaching - and started to write her first full-length novel. She
won the 'Superwoman of Great Britain' Award, for which her family had
secretly entered her, at the same time as her novel was accepted for
publication.
