Introduction I Stand Alone Hello, I would like to use this opportunity to introduce you to my first book that I have recently written, 'I Stand Alone.' For almost eight years, I was deciding on when it would be the best time to start my new adventure, I thought the solution would be after qualifying at the Open Study and UK Public College; studying Advanced Counselling and Psychotherapy plus Health and Social Care at Foundation Level. My main hobbies were simply enjoying family life and working with young people, writing reports and outreach-part of everyday life, yet I appreciated every aspect, therefore I was dedicated and completely committed to my responsibilities. As years progressed, I began to reflect on my lifestyle, friends and experiences, thinking about my passion in language and literature. I chose a pathway whereby I could use elements of my personal experiences and expectations to develop a book with meaning which include trials and obstacles in a woman's life. This book is based on marriage, a new family, career and romance with the understanding of truth and honesty principally a moral and value that must be respected. I based my fiction story in London, England, because I am familiar with the area. The genre and themes of my book is directly aimed to 'romance' acknowledging love as the essence to happiness, forgiveness and the way forward - people can forgive, but never forget. My audience should be of a mature age group, therefore I am reaching out to adults to read and buy this book, knowing that perhaps they will relate to some situations talked about, finding light through the tunnel, able to overcome their battles or fears. Some contents of this book contain description of a sexual nature, recommended for those 18 years and over. In due course, another novel for the adults to enjoy - keep your feet on the ground as you put your teeth into this enticing story, see what lies beneath the truth of Katy Harper.
