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 4!

I’m delighted to share this blurb for My Lips, Her Voice from the immensely talented Jamie Pacton. I recommend checking out all her books but I especially love her sapphic romantasy, The Absinthe Underground. 💚🧚🏻

“A twisty tale of dangerous mines, all-too-human monsters, vengeful ghosts, lost sapphic loves, and family secrets that haunted my dreams and kept me guessing until the very end. Read this 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.”
