Award winning K. L. Shandwick lived on the outskirts of London for many years before vacating to the Yorkshire countryside. She started writing after a challenge by a friend when she commented on a book she read. The result of this was "The Everything Trilogy." Her background has been mainly in the health and social care sector in the U.K. These days her writing has become full-time venture to feed her readers demands. Her books tend to focus on the relationships of the main characters. Writing is a form of escapism for her and she is just as excited to find out where her characters take her as she is when she reads another author’s work.
