Julia Wakes, book two in the Julia Series

“…Miss Jameson was the biggest hit of the evening, a dynamic darling. No gimmicks, just talent, and wow, what a voice!”

It’s 1946, and Evie is back on stage where she belongs, her voice ready to soar in the theatres of Scotland.
One question shadows every note she sings: Is the brilliant young trumpet player who stole her heart under the Indian sun still part of her future?
Myles has dreams of his own, bold and uncompromising, and Evie dares to believe she can build a life where love, family, and a glittering career all shine together. Yet the climb toward “having it all” is steeper than she imagined; as Evie’s star rises, she seizes bright, shining moments of opportunity that strain the fragile balance between career and home, and when life delivers an unexpected miracle, she learns how deep the unbreakable bonds of love really are.
Her journey in the spotlight carries her across the world, taking her far from her beloved Glasgow, bringing moments of
breath taking joy and quiet heartbreak; Evie strives for love, whilst never turning her back on the extraordinary gift that has been given to her – her voice.
Inspired by a true story, Julia Wakes celebrates the resilience of a woman who refuses to give up on her dreams,
and the fierce, enduring love that ultimately defines her legacy. This is a story for anyone who has ever reached for
that bigger, brighter star, and refused to let go.

Julia Sleeps, book one in the Julia Series

"Beautifully Written, Deeply Moving - Julia Sleeps is a beautifully written, impeccably paced novel that effortlessly draws you into its world. The story moves between Scotland and India with such authenticity that it feels like you’re travelling alongside the characters. You can tell that Zoe Caryl brings her own experiences as a singer and world traveller to the story—this adds incredible depth and understanding to Evie’s journey. The characters feel real, the kind you could meet in everyday life, and the emotion behind the story is palpable. It’s clear this book was written from the heart. I can’t wait for the next one! Even if you don’t normally read historical fiction, this is a compelling, immersive read that keeps you hooked from start to finish. Highly recommended." Julie E, 5 star Amazon review
