Travel Guide

Welcome to the world of Lauren Pailing

There are no real locations as such. The story starts in Cheshire and moves to London but locations are fleeting and not important to story. What is important is the idea of one life ending and another one beginning. A country,life, town and friends different each time. There are alternative worlds here such as the one in which Britain has never had a female PM. Interestingly, there is one in the USA and she takes no prisoners!In another and yet stranger world still, there are no furry felines. Each world you see, experience and spend time in, there is lots to discover.
