About Folio
Folio is a work of historical fiction that centers on war photographer Terry Tusley, a man on the hunt for that perfect shot. But the quest for fame doesn’t come without a cost. Terry’s neglected daughter, Katie, thousands of miles away, struggles with their family dynamic and who her father really is. Tusley’s story begins in Occupied France, 1943, and takes us to the theatres of Korea and Vietnam, peering through the mud-splashed lens of Terry’s camera alongside other photographers… all of them rivals for the cover Life magazine and the vaunted Pulitzer Prize.
Folio will make you wonder: How far will these war photographers go to secure their place for all time, and what price are they willing to pay for the ultimate prize?
“An epic tale of passion, manipulation, and obsession.” - Whitney Otto, New York Times bestselling author.
