I was born in Guyana, left there for the UK; worked and studied in London, before taking up residence in Sweden in autumn 1969. In the 70s, I tried my hand at writing fiction, mostly short stories, a four-act closet drama, a novella, and an unfinished novel. I spent two years nurturing the ambition to become an author of some repute. But the going was tough, with no financial security for the future. I shelved the idea of earning a living through writing and got a job as a hospital porter. Later, I got a BA (Eng. & Edu.). After a summer job at a psychiatric hospital, I decided to do a 4-term course for mental-health carers, Following that I completed the first of two stages of psychotherapy education and several short courses in cognitive therapy. After retirement, I did part-time mental health counselling work for several years. In February 2016, my debut book appeared: Strangers In Another Country, a collection of two short stories and two novellas, available in ebook and paperback. On 9th Dec. 2016, I published a novella, The Eternal Struggle: An Amorous Story. In March 2017, Two Girls in a Café, a short story appeared. Making Sense Of Past Time - a Novel available in paperback, and ebook format. Tell Me Who My Enemy Is - a four-act closet drama published this summer (2018). The Ballad of Calle and Maja - a short story published Nov 2018. Getting it Right, if Ever – Romance Novella was published 22nd Aug -19 Four Bittersweet Romances & A Four-Act Closet Drama was published 3rd Nov 2019. In 2020, I published a short story, Darker Than Blue --This Mortal Coil. MY BOOKS ARE UPDATED (Dec 2020). I have a Twitter account @lgt41 and a blog page: lgt41blog.wordpress.com. I’m a hobby photographer, and you can view several of my images at https://www.foap.com/community/profiles/lgt41 I sincerely hope you find my stories enjoyable, and a review of my books would be much appreciated.

TWO GIRLS IN A CAFÉ
London, England: The 60s. Two Girls in the Café is about an English and an American who were once close friends, meeting for old-time for a cup of tea, chatting and giggling to the delight of their hearts. By chance, the American sees a young man in the street walking she claims to know. The English girl is surprised since she also claims to know the young man, and the idea amazes the girls that they both know him. But there is a tossup because the girls know the young man by two different names.
"Contemporary, witty, honest and ironic."

The style reminds me of O. Henry my favorite short story writer
Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2020
I loved this short story. I loved the character development, the suspense as well as the unusual twist in the tale which I never saw coming. Lawrence Taylor is an exceptionally talented short story writer & he reminds me of O.Henry who is one of my favorite short story writers. The story is about a chat between two young women, Felicity & Ruth in a cafe. They see someone passing by whom they recognize & then begins a wonderful intellectually packed conversation as the reader decodes who is telling the truth & who is not. I really liked this short story & it was a fun read. I highly recommend this short story by accomplished short story writer Lawrence Taylor to everyone wanting a quick, intelligent but enjoyable read. I look forward to reading more short stories & books by Lawrence Taylor in the near future.
