☆BLURB☆

Missing beats happen in a fraction of time. For Jo and Kane they changed their lives in ways neither could have ever imagined.

To Jo, rock stars = Fame. Money. Music. Sex. A lifestyle she literally has no respect for.

Josie Carmichael's no rock star.

She's not even famous and she doesn't particularly like musicians, but when a boy from her childhood reconnects unexpectedly, her life is put on hold. With opposing lifestyles and conflicted feelings for the special boy she used to know and the sexy-as-sin man Kane is now, will she ever find common ground? Strangers as adults with a strong childhood bond, Josie and Kane's world becomes closer than either of them could ever have fathomed. This brings emotional challenges beyond anything they could ever prepare for, or have imagined.

Standalone

No Cliffhanger

AUTHOR BIO

Writing came relatively late in life for KL after a challenge by a friend led to The Everything Trilogy. She loves creating new characters and story lines. KL has worked in the health and social care sector for most of her adult life, so to have the opportunity to step out of serious roles and create colourful characters is very rewarding. She enjoys where they take her and each character has his or her own voice. KL doesn’t use prepared outlines for her stories, preferring the characters to take their own direction as the story progresses. These days KL lives in the Yorkshire countryside in the UK where she writes full time.

New Release Ready For Flynn Part 2 by K.L. Shandwick


Ready For Flynn, Part 2
A rockstar romance by K. L. Shandwick
Available on all platforms from 25th May 2016

An undeniable love keeps them together, but is young love enough in a world full of temptation?
With Flynn's career on the line can he accept what Valerie proposes? He knew he could trust her with his heart, but is that the same as believing in her?
He knew she could be persuasive and he wanted to give her the world, but was she ready to take the world on with him?

(A contemporary rock romance 18+)


Excerpt & Teaser

I knew I’d never love anyone my whole life the way I loved him. I read about once-in-a-lifetime events that happen to a tiny minority of people. Since the day I’d met Flynn, there had been two in my life. One where he slashed a gaping hole in my heart and climbed inside, and one where my heart splintered into a million pieces with the death of my brothers. In the short time Flynn had come back into my life, I’d felt things I never thought I would feel again. A damaged heart that healed in response to his love until it wasn’t afraid to pick up the pace when he stared lustily in my direction. A heart that skipped a beat and fluttered at his touch, then squeezed when he said something to me that showed his vulnerable side.

Author Spotlight K.L. Shandwick



Interview:
1. When did you first realize you wanted to be a writer? 
I hadn’t planned to write anything. I was challenged by a friend to write a chapter as if it were a book and the Everything trilogy happened from that.
2. How long does it take you to write a book? 
Depends on the book and what is going on in my daily life but somewhere between three and six weeks is normal. My books are all around 100k so not little books.
3. What is your work schedule like when you're writing?
I set myself deadlines and work to those. I also have to factor in when editors are available and work to their timescales as well. I write anywhere and everywhere and I make time to write every day, even if it is only a few hundred works, both from the perspective of consistency of the story and keeping myself in the character’s mindsets.
4. What would you say is your interesting writing quirk?
I write a lot in the car when my husband is driving. If we have to go on a long journey I write in the back seat of the car.
5. Where do you get your information or ideas for your books?
From past experience, (not the sex scenes, but the relationship aspects of my books. I’ve been working with people for a long time in my day job and have been privy to a lot of women in vulnerable situations. I also worked with bands as a merchandizer so some of what I write comes loosely from a snapshot of something I’ve seen then I use poetic license to embellish it. The rest comes from my imagination. My vivid imagination. I do research some aspects of my book content also.
6. When did you write your first book and how old were you?
2 years ago I wrote my first book and let’s just say I am a mature lady with grown up children and leave it at that!!
7. What do you like to do when you're not writing?
I enjoy going to watch live music and following bands, socializing with friends and travelling. I used to ski a lot and I miss that but my schedule hasn’t allowed me to do that lately.
8. What does your family think of your writing?
At first they thought I’d gone mad, but they are accepting that it is an art form now and a way of escapism for me. I hadn’t told anyone for a long time, however as I began to do it more seriously I had to come clean because I’d have hated them to find out from someone else. Now, they are very supportive. My husband is even my assistant at most of my signings.
9. What was one of the most surprising things you learned in creating your books?
That people liked to read them and the way my following have taken the characters I created to their hearts. It’s weird when someone says “I knew someone just like Jack,” “I’m in love with your fictional character,” others talk about them as if they are real people.
10. How many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
I’m just about to release my nineth, Ready For Flynn and I think that is my favorite along with Everything I Want. Everything I Want because it was the conclusion to my first set of books and I liked that I spent the time wrapping that story up without rushing it. Ready For Flynn because I think I’ve grown as a writer with this one and I like that my heroine is strong.
11. Do you have any suggestions to help me become a better writer? If so, what are they?
Observe, read, reread your work after a break, you’ll see things you never saw at the time. Write from the heart. Don’t compromise because you think someone won’t like what you’ve written and stay true to the characters. Never stop learning.
12. Do you hear from your readers much? What kinds of things do they say?
Yes I hear from them all the time and some of them are active in my hang out room. I do some live writing for them using the characters from my books and we have a lot of fun with that. They give me a couple of the characters and the scenario and I write a short scene in around ten minutes for them. Sometimes they want to find out what would happen in particular situations for the characters and this can feed the thirst for some of the characters they’ve enjoyed. I also get messages in my inbox from readers telling me how they felt about the book they read and I answer all of those too. I have a strong small following and I am interactive with them all the time.
13. Do you like to create books for adults?
Yes. My books are contemporary rock romance with mature content. They are definitely 18+ reads.
14. What do you think makes a good story?
One that gives background context, good character development, and unrushed story that is allowed to unfold with a few unexpected and emotional events that the readers. To my mind they should have realism in the characters but as it’s fiction I believe that as I write about rock stars who have had extra- ordinary lives the story can sometimes reflect that.
15. As a child, what did you want to do when you grew up?
A midwife or like most little girls, an airhostess. I achieved the first wink emoticon

Review: Trusting Gibson by KL Shandwick

I got Trusting Gibson by K.L. Shandwick as an ARC and I was not disappointed.  This book starts right where Gibson’s Legacy leaves off. Chloe and Gibson have some real chemistry together and they are HOT.  Chloe is still not sure what she is doing with this rock god but she has decided she is going to go for the ride and I love her for it.  I definitely love when she gets territorial with Gibson and she shows all these people from his past that she isn’t just some little girl you can push away.   As for Gibson what can I say sexy alpha rock god that he is and that Chloe is his soft spot that he will do anything for.  I loved this book.


New Release: Trusting GIbson by KL Shandwick





Taking a chance on Gibson Barclay was something Chloe never envisaged in her future when she was in college. Years later, she found herself thrown into his world with no immediate way out. She knew that trying to be the girlfriend of Gibson Barclay would come at a price. Was she capable of trusting him with his notorious womanizing reputation and temptation only a heartbeat away? Chloe was still dealing with her own dark event, and with the media constantly thirsty for new information about Gibson and his life, it meant Chloe would be constantly watching over her shoulder, fearful of her past rearing its ugly head again. Gibson promised to protect Chloe, but how could he keep her safe from the past that still haunts her with his life in the spotlight? When Gibson's trust is put to the test how will he react?

Excerpt for Trusting Gibson:-
Inhaling heavily his lips appeared at my ear as he whispered,
“I know you’re not asleep, I can feel you thinking.” What was really weird was it was almost as if he could. My first thought for the past week when I woke had been when am I going to wake up from this dream? When is someone going to tell me it’s time to go home?
“And I know what you’re thinking. Don’t. I got you, darlin’, nothing bad is going to happen to you while you are with me. I prayed that Gibson was right and meant every word. Snuggling closer his erect dick was lying in the seam of my butt and I couldn’t help but give myself a little wriggle against him.
Gibson growled and tightened his grip in the sexiest rub of his own in response. “Fuck, Chloe what are you doing to me?” Struggling to free myself I turned to face him and when I looked up at him my heart raced. Just looking at him affected every fibre of my body. “Me? I was lying here minding my own business. Don’t blame me for your horny thoughts Gibson Barclay.” — © KLShandwick 2015 Trusting Gibson All Rights Reserved





Gibson's Legacy (The Last Score Series Book 1):- OUT NOW
Gibson's Legacy Synopsis #GL #Gibsonscoming

Gibson Barclay has been famous for almost seven years and he's only twenty four.

Seldom does anyone pick up a magazine, newspaper or watch a television entertainment show, without seeing his image or reading about his promiscuous antics . He had no need to court publicity with his magnetic charm and charismatic ways; when he chooses to cooperate that is. Shrugging off the advice of publicists and image consultants, Gibson makes no excuses for who he is, and with no ties,he answers to no one about how he chooses to live his life.

From teenage musician to twenties mega rock star, Gibson has seen and done it all. Women fantasize about him and men envy his rock scene, womanizing lifestyle. Only one person ever made Gibson feel uncomfortable about the way he lived his live. No one ever said no to him that he can remember, although there was two minute events that he has never been able to shake from his mind. Both of those events involved the way Chloe Jenner looked at him. It was something and nothing, but for him, the impact haunted him. In the strangest twist of fate, something so wildly obscure occurred, that set his mind ablaze with the memory of that small encounter.

Like all women, Chloe found Gibson striking and had even shared with her friends, her own guilty fantasy about him. Fantasy and reality were poles apart and Chloe believed that Gibson Barclay never even knew that she existed. ©KL Shandwick
