I’m so glad I did.
When she told me she loved it and said, “Give me more!” I was ecstatic. It made me brave enough to hand it out to other people.
I remember her pretty much telling me, ‘You have to get this published.’
I remember thinking it wouldn’t happen, and Chloe repeatedly saying, with a big smile on her face, “It will be a best seller, Lauren.”
She has always had an unwavering belief in this story. She is the one I go to for advice about the book. She has read and edited all three of my stories so far, and they are definitely better for her comments and suggestions.
You need people like this in your life. She is a wonderful friend without whom I really don’t think The Woodlands Series would have survived.
It’s definitely not enough but thank you, Chloe.
Daughter of a Malaysian nuclear physicist father and an Australian doctor mother, Lauren Nicolle Taylor was expected to follow the science career path. And she did, for a while, completing a Health Science degree with Honors in obstetrics and gynecology. But there was always a niggling need to create which led to many artistic adventures.
When Lauren hit her thirties, she started throwing herself into artistic endeavors, but was not entirely satisfied. The solution: Complete a massive renovation and sell their house so they could buy their dream block of land and build. After selling the house, buying the block and getting the plans ready, the couple discovered they had been misled and the block was undevelopable. This left her family of five homeless.
Taken in by Lauren’s parents, with no home to renovate and faced with a stressful problem with no solution, Lauren found herself drawn to the computer. She sat down and poured all of her emotions and pent up creative energy into writing The Woodlands.
Family, a multicultural background and a dab of medical intrigue are all strong themes in her writing. Lauren took the advice of ‘write what you know’ and twisted it into a romantic, dystopian adventure! Visit Lauren at her website: http://www.LaurenNicolleTaylor.com.
