Lily Silver Honestly, I don't get writer's block. I have too many ideas and I have too little time. Sometimes if I get stuck in a plot, usually the middle, I talk with writer friends over coffee and that helps get things moving. My problem would be stalling out in the middle of a story for a time to figure out what to do next.

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

Lily Silver I get to write my own fantasies. I love writing romance, and bringing my fantasies to life. I see plots everywhere. I often see photos or pictures and see a story line come up in my mind, so writing is a real joy to me, not a chore. I suppose the other thing about being a writer that is awesome is getting to write at home, and it doesn't matter if you're wearing a hoodie and pajama pants when you do it. Wardrobe for writers is minimal expense.

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Lily Silver I have always loved the era in France known as the Belle Epoque. As far back as a teen I was reading artist biographies of greats like Van Gogh, Toulouse-Lautrec and Salvador Dali. My love of this era worked with the plot of Some Enchanted Dream, along with the popularity of Absinthe in this time period. Since Tara is a fairy, it also worked out for using the Green Fairy theme. The Green Fairy was the muse of artists and writers, and she was also associated with Absinthe. Once I started plotting, it all came together naturally.

How do you get inspired to write?

Lily Silver I love romance and history. I find the opportunities and what ifs in history provide so many ideas for plots. I am also a big fan of paranormal stories so I like to blend the two
