Synopsis

Three-year-old Julie has a secret which she has been told NOT to tell. If she tells, her mommy will be hurt terribly. Secrets in the head of a three year old, however, are like thinking that the sun will forever hide behind the clouds. Eventually, they will both come out, and when Julie’s secret does come out it tears apart two families while bringing them closer together at the same time. “The Monster’s Lap” is a real story based on the life mis- fortunes and betrayals of a young three-year-old girl and the family that loves her. You will have an intimate look into the ups and downs of this family as well as the little known process that goes on from discovery to the final verdict in court. Can a three-year-old express what has happened in her life enough to convince the District Attorney to take on this case, or will the word of a well spoken, well liked thirty-year-old man be more believable? “She can hardly talk. I didn’t do anything and after all, who would believe a three-year-old?”

Author Biography

Drew Bankston lives in the Rocky Mountains with his wife, two amazingly perfect dogs, and a garden.

Before he started writing science fiction, Drew received his bachelor’s degree in Bio-Ag Sciences from Colorado State University. After that, just to shake things up, he never really used that degree but worked various jobs in retail and Asset Protection with some really important people who are way too dignified to be named here. He’s still working but would eventually like to write full-time and stop working for other people. He likes pie and chocolate, as everyone should.

Are You Lying?

When speaking to the police, it's never a good idea to lie. Not only is it a felony to lie to the police, but they will often ask if you would be willing to take a lie detector test. What would you say, if you knew that you were lying? How would you get yourself out of that situation? Please read this excerpt from my book, "The Monster's Lap" and let me know if I can help you understand if something like this is going on in your life! I want this book to help you.

Book Excerpt

The Monster's Lap: Based on a True Story

“That’s ridiculous!” Charles roared. “Who accused me of that? I want to know. It couldn’t have been anything that Julie said. She’s not very good at speaking. Who would believe a three-year-old anyway?”

“So you’re denying that you’ve touched her inappropriately?”

“I would never do anything to hurt her!” Charles was outraged.

“Maybe you didn’t think that you were hurting her,” Cheryl said.

“You’re trying to get me to say something, but I didn’t do anything,” Charles said.

“Would you be willing to take a lie detector test regarding that?” Cheryl asked.

Charles was quiet and almost froze at the question. “Um, no,” Charles said, toning down a little. “I have major anxiety attacks and seizures, so I wouldn’t be able to take one. I wouldn’t do well with it.”
