_A Well-Lived Life 2_ is the continuation of the story of Steve Adams told in _AWLL 1_. If you haven’t read that, you’ll have serious difficulty following the story. I strongly encourage you to read _AWLL 1_ and _AWLL2 - Books 1, 2, 3, & 4_ before you begin this fifth book of _AWLL 2_.

Like the earlier books, there is a lot of dialogue and introspection. There is also a decent amount of sex, some of it explicit and juicy, and some of it agonizingly erotic in its simplicity.

*Please note that this book will skip time. Watch the section headers and dates!*

The author has won two very important Clitorides Awards for this work - 2015 Best New Author as well as 2015 and 2017 Author of the Year. Several of the books were nominated for awards, including AWLL 1 - Book 5, which won in its category.

This second series contains ten books, totalling in excess of 4,200,000 words. The first series, _AWLL 1_, contains ten books with 3,200,000 words. Both series are dialoge-driven, and also contain quite a bit of introspection. The characters operate in the real world of the 1970s through the current day, with historical events and people helping to drive the story forward.

There are many, many characters who appear throughout the story, and if you find it hard to keep track of them, you may find some assistance on our wiki: https://a-well-lived-life.com/index.php/A_Well_Lived_Life

In addition, we operate a Discord server for discussions and updates: https://discord.gg/UE8tAG5

And finally, we have a mailing list for announcements about AWLL: https://a-well-lived-life.com/mailman/listinfo/awlll

The mailing list is very low volume and should never contain spoilers, even if you are just starting out. The Discord server has channels where it is ‘safe’ to discuss the story without spoilers, but there is always a risk.

A special thanks to Steve Smith, my editor, who has done an incredibly fantastic job helping me bring these characters to life. Also, to my proofreaders and the members of the AWLL email group and Discord server who get to read the pre-release chapters and point out the remaining typos and misses.
