about me

I would rather write poetic prose than prosaic poetry.

My novel "Sister, Daughter,Mother,Wife" was published in December 2009.

I have some poetry included in the anthology "Poeticising Chat" which was published in May 2011. (Along with several other Authonomy poets.)

A collection of my short fiction and poetry has just become available for Kindle. Some extracts appear here as "Through My Windows"

favourite books

Anything by Stephen King, Dean Koontz, John Saul, Ian Rankin,

"The Ode Less-Travelled" by Stephen Fry.

Sister Daughter Mother Wife

Lilian Kendrick

One woman in her time plays many parts, but when will she get to play the lead and not the best-supporting role?


Josie's life is falling apart.

She has always defined herself by her roles within the family.Picking up the pieces for her alcoholic brother; providing a shoulder to cry on for her teenage daughter and being a good wife to selfish philanderer, Rick.
Now her father turns up out of the blue and events within the family reach crisis point.

Where can Josie turn for help?
Sister, Daughter, Mother, Wife - these are job descriptions. They don't define who she is.

Help is at hand when Josie learns to stand up for herself and reconcile her heart and her conscience.

 

Through my Windows

Lilian Kendrick

A writer's ramblings - frequently inspired by social networking.


Like many others, I have a good time hanging out on Facebook with like minds.

Many may decry the effects of social networking through the internet, but some of the people I 'chat' to really inspire me and online conversations often lead me to write as I've never written before.


Recently, the flow of 'verses' has been almost impossible to stop. I found inspiration.

Thus was born "Through my Windows"

 

Retribution

Lilian Kendrick

A one-night stand starts Maria on a journey she'd rather not take.


Maria only slipped up once. That was all it took. A nightclub, a pill and a charismatic stranger leave her confused and pregnant.
Childhood friend Joe steps in to support her and life is good playing happy families.
Then the stranger returns to give his daughter her birthright,

Please be aware that I have only uploaded 6 chapters which are then repeated. The rest will go up soon.

Dear Jackie, Glad that your first book is doing well. You have a very strong premise here, and one that is very popular at present. I like the way you get straight into the story with your female protagonist seeking revenge. You handle the first person POV well and create sympathy for your charact... view book

Your title caught my eye - it's great. You have a really good premise here and I enjoyed reading it. I shall definitely return to read some more. I'll keep this on my watchlist for a while and will shelve it when I have space. Lilian. view book

I was looking for something different to read and came to this because it's on Splinker's shelf and he usually knows what's worth reading. I like your story very much as I think it has the potential to appeal to teenage readers. There are a few typos and the odd grammar error, but at this stage it's... view book

A very emotional story. well-written and absorbing. Not usually quite the sort of thing I read, but I'll give it a shelf spot for a little while. view book
