Lily is moving forward
after her break up with Alfie. Her journey continues through some extremely
emotional times during key events, as she becomes more self- assured and begins
to develop as an performing artist. It isn’t easy for Lily to forget Alfie
because of circumstances in Alfie’s life. However, Lily is tortured by constant
reminders of their time together, and this does little for her resolve to move
on. Although, Lily has made her choice, it is also tinged with sadness.
Her love for Alfie remains strong, and she fights a constant internal battle,
between loving him and loving her music. Lily thinks it’s impossible to have
both. A fabulous opportunity
arises for Lily, but there is a possibility of this bringing her face to face
with Alfie again. Can Lily cope with the emotional turmoil this would bring
her? Or, is the risk of seeing Alfie something she feels able to manage now?

Musically, Lily concentrates her efforts much more, which brings success, post
Alfie. Through this, she finds friends in some of the most unlikely of
circumstances. All of her friends continue to protect her, and are all well
aware of the impact Lily’s relationship with Alfie has had on her. All apart
from Elle, who gives Lily food for thought. Although, Lily’s mind is still
plagued with memories of Alfie; which continue to impact on her to such an
extent, Lily has been unable to form new romantic ties. Professionally, her relationships
couldn’t be better. She is offered some amazing opportunities rarely available,
and is determined to do make the most of them. This is especially important to
her, given the sacrifices she has made in the past to do this. Will Lily’s
music be enough for her, and prove to be everything she ever wanted?

BOOK 2
I have lived my
whole life with comments from both, relative strangers and close friends
telling me I should write a book. People continually tell me I have an ability
to tell a story and make even the mundane sound interesting. (I’m personally
not aware of that.)

The thought of
doing this, was something I never thought I would entertain, because being
dyslexic, during my childhood and adolescence, I found it very difficult to get
past how to spell something, never mind how coherent the sentence sounded. So
writing a few paragraphs usually made me sweat.

As a child I
discovered coping strategies and developed my own ways of getting by, I wasn’t
stupid by any stretch of the imagination, but left school at fifteen without
any academic qualifications. I wasn’t diagnosed with dyslexia until I attended
university at the age of thirty.

(Both of my
children were diagnosed with dyslexia, one at the age of seven and one much
later, although, I could see my traits present in him, and both have excelled
academically in their chosen professions.

Thanks to the
invention of the computer and information technology, my world changed. I
learned how to communicate in written form effectively, not afraid to use
language present in my oral skills that were lacking in my written work, for
fear of spelling them wrongly, which gave me the confidence to write the books.
Had I, had to write a book on paper, I know I would never have finished the
first page.

I recently
discovered the joy of writing after a challenge by a friend, which turned into
three books. As I am constantly challenging others to face their demons, I
decided, after some persuasion, to brave it out and share the books with
others. I don’t have any expectations for them other than to tell the
story.

This was a huge
step for me, and took courage because there are so many fabulous clever people
out there, writing amazing pieces of work that sadly, very few people ever
see.

My work:
I have had the pleasure (and the drama) of working in The National Health
Service and in an independent capacity for Social Services in the UK for many
years. My work has been supporting many women, children, young people, and
families during this time. Sometimes, this has been at some of the toughest or
most vulnerable times in their lives.

During this
time I have observed the communications of all parties involved both, in their
relationships with others and how their decisions affect the subsequent
outcomes for them and others. I have shared in the births and in the deaths of
some of these people, and I never take advantage of the privilege my position
brings me.

People ask what
does the K.L. stand for K.L. Shandwick is a pseudonym. This isn’t to ‘hide’
behind, (I am not ashamed of what I’ve written), but to afford my clients the
appropriate level of confidentiality by association. So, K L stands for KL. I
am an independent author, who presently self publishes through kindle, but I
hope to have a print copy of my books shortly.
