  'A memoir of great power and emotional honesty. To read this book is to be in awe of Spraggan's strength in writing it.' Elizabeth DayBy the age of twenty, Lucy Spraggan had already experienced more extraordinary things than many do across a lifetime. Growing up in a creative household, surrounded by artists, alcohol and raucous parties, by her late teens she had played pubs, clubs and festivals, fallen in love with an older woman on a US road trip, experimented with drink and drugs, and been in and out of police custody.When her X Factor audition went viral in 2012, Lucy became the bookies' favourite to win the show. She was the first contestant ever to write and perform her own original songs, refusing to be pigeonholed by stylists and producers. Viewers fell for her unmanufactured, anti-pop princess stance, and the tabloids loved her.Then , suddenly, mid-way through the live shows, Lucy dropped out. The public were told Lucy was unwell.Now, for the first time, Lucy is ready to tell her story, in her own words.Process is a book about the vicious impact of trauma across a lifetime; it is about Lucy's successes and mistakes, her journey towards sobriety, calm and something like peace. Most of all, Process is an extraordinary story about a gifted artists and an expose of the toxic underbelly of noughties celebrity culture and reality TV.

  W L George - A Short Story...

  Walter Lionel George was born to British parents on the 20th March 1882 in Paris, France. 
   
  It was not until he was a young man of 20 that he learned English.  In 1905 he moved to London to work in an office but soon found himself working as a journalist, and as a foreign correspondent, for various London newspapers. 
   
  By 1911, with the publication of his first novel ‘A Bed of Roses’, which portrayed the fall of a penniless young woman into prostitution, his efforts were rewarded, and he turned to literature as a full-time career. 
   
  His writings now sold well.  He added short stories to his offerings as well as literary essays and several tracts that discussed left-wing themes.  Some critics thought his subject matter to be difficult and poorly chosen. His political views gained him little credit amongst his peers although such luminaries as George Orwell praised both subject matter and style. 
   
  His personal life was also turbulent.  His three marriages left him widowed twice.  In 1908 he married Helen Porter who died in 1914.  Helen Agnes Moorhead followed in 1916 but died only 4 years later.  His last marriage was to Kathleen Geipel in 1921. 
   
  W. L George died on 30th January 1926.  He was 43.

  Essays: First Series Friendship

  Ralph Waldo Emerson

  A true friend is a paradox—both a mirror and a mystery, a presence that steadies yet unsettles. Emerson's Friendship is not a sentimental tribute but an exploration, as sharp as it is reverent. He does not merely celebrate companionship; he dissects it, questioning the forces that draw souls together and the invisible tensions that hold them apart.
  Friendship, in Emerson's vision, is not mere comfort—it is a force, a demand, a test. It requires space as much as closeness, silence as much as words. It thrives not in constant nearness but in the charged air of mutual respect, in the quiet certainty that the bond endures, even when distance stretches between.
  His words do not ask for easy agreement; they provoke. He suggests that the highest friendships are not found but forged, not effortless but exacting. The reader who enters Friendship expecting warmth may find, instead, a bracing clarity—a recognition that true companionship is both a gift and a discipline, an art as much as an affection. Emerson does not offer a guide to making friends; he offers something rarer: an insight into why, despite all risks, we seek them still.
