edit data

Lily Malone is a journalist and freelance writer who discovered after years of writing facts for a living, writing romance was much more fun.

She loves to hear from readers and you can visit Lily at www.lilymalone.wordpress.com; email her at lilymalone@mail.com or connect with her here on Goodreads or find and like her page on Facebook, http://www.facebook.com/lily.lilymalone
