edit data

Lillian first attempted to write a novel in the fifth grade but failed horribly. She was born in the mountains of West Virginia, but she was raised in the valleys of Virginia. Lillian majored in history and conducted her primary research on crime and gender in Victorian England. When she’s not writing, Lillian enjoys pretending she has a green thumb, reading gay romance or any type of thriller/mystery, and doing genealogical research on her family. Lillian’s special talents include reciting all US states in alphabetical order and (kind of) singing classical pieces in her mezzo-soprano voice.

Lillian hopes that her stories and characters will resonate with her readers. Want to know what else she’s working on or to send her a message? Visit he ...more

What mystery in your own life could be a plot for a book?

My name and address was handwritten, but I didn't recognize the handwriting. When I opened it up, there was a money order for a couple hundred dollars and a note that said "something to brighten your day!" And in the memo line of the money order, they'd written "ho, ho, ho!" b/c it was right around Christmas. It just so happened that I needed that money right then, but nobody knew that. I'd also recently moved, so very few people knew my new address.

The handwriting didn't match anyone's in my immediate family, and I went through everyone I knew who could've possibly sent it, and I've never figured it out. My best guess it was a random act of kindness from a stranger. Although, why they'd have my address, I don't know. But clearly they wanted it to be anonymous. And to this day, I'm very grateful to whoever they are.

So, yeah. I could see that being the plot of a mystery/romance or something. (less)
