Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
My name is Lillith, I live in Lancaster, Ohio with my 3 amazing daughters, and my husband Zack. I’ve always wanted to write a book, from the time I was very young. I used to go through forests and forests worth of paper making books as a child to give to my friends and family (something the environmentalist in me cringes about today)
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
My latest book is a YA fantasy titled Wysteria. My husband inspired it, actually. He had a dream about a boy with glowing green eyes in a purple and blue forest looking out over the ocean. He transformed into a bear and ran off.
He woke up one morning and told me about this dream and the outline blossomed from there.
Do you have any unusual writing habits?
I HAVE to have music to write! I cannot write in silence. Music can not only set my pace, but the tone as well.
What authors, or books have influenced you?
I grew up reading Stephen King. Even in elementary school I would read his books and I just fell in love with everything horror.
What are you working on now?
The sequel to Wysteria and the third book in my ‘Hearts’ series.
What is your best method or website when it comes to promoting your books?
I usually try to promote myself, but I’m still learning!
Do you have any advice for new authors?
Don’t give up! As they say ‘the difference between an amateur and a professional writer, is one didn’t give up.”
What is the best advice you have ever heard?
Same as above! Don’t give up!
What are you reading now?
Still Stephen King, but also Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child’s Pendergast series.
What’s next for you as a writer?
Keep writing!
If you were going to be stranded on a desert island and allowed to take 3 or 4 books with you what books would you bring?
My own, to keep my mind alive. To remind myself of what I’m capable of.
