edit data

As a child, L.L. Madrid wasn’t allowed to watch R-rated movies. However, her library visits
were unsupervised, so she spent her summers reading Anne Rice and Stephen King.

Nowadays, she lives in Tucson with her family. When she’s not pretending to be a mild-mannered office worker, she writes dark, moody stories about misfits.

L.L. is the 2021 recipient of the Horror Writers Association’s Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Scholarship. She is a proud member of the Bi+ Book Gang, a Pitch Wars alum, and is in
Odyssey’s class of 2024. Her short stories are scattered across the internet.

She is represented by HG Literary.

My Lips, Her Voice Blurb Reveal 5

Camilla Bruce is a brilliant author who has written some of my favorite unlikable characters of all time. Her books are dark, gothic, and atmospheric. I’m so excited about her next one that’s coming out, The Temptation of Charlotte North.

Here's what she had to say about, My Lips, Her Voice:

“I utterly loved this book, with its hazy atmospheric prose, gorgeously messy girls, and fresh spin on hometo Read more of this blog post »

“What do you want more than anything else in the world? What do you love, or what do you hate?

Find a character, like yourself, who will want something or not want something, with all his heart. Give him running orders.

Shoot him off. Then follow as fast as you can go. The Character, in his great love, or hate, will rush you through to the end of the story. The zest and gusto of his need, and there is zest in hate as well as in love, will fire the landscape and raise the temperature of your typewriter thirty degrees.”
