While doing research for my book, "The Changing", I ran into a few brick walls. For one, this particular queen did not have a lot of information available online or in books for that matter, about her, for two she was a very mysterious person. Now I absolutely Love research, the digging in deep of learning something new and exciting, the hours of reading and cross referencing, everything. Research is my best friend, but when you don't have a lot to go on it can be frustrating, especially for someone like me, but I persevered.
The wonderful part of Historical-fiction is the fictional part, the part you get to embellish on, and believe me when I tell you it was my saving grace! I loved all of the information I found out about this character, but the part I seriously sunk my teeth into was where I got to create for her. How she grew up, the conversations she had, the people she met, etc.. I enjoyed having her meet Lillith and the bond they formed. How Lillith molded her throughout her mortal life and was her one constant.
If you enjoyed Lillith:My Genesis and The Queen you'll enjoy this as well seeing as it runs in the same vein. Every one of Lilliths "ladies in arms" will get their own novella so don't worry, this one just spoke to me as the story that needed to be told at this time. Its scheduled to be released in June and I can't wait for you to read it!
Until next time Loves, I wish you all Happy Reading!
