Story has been the abiding passion for Lily Gardner since she was a young child; mysteries taking center stage. SHE DID NOT THE WRITE CHILDREN'S BOOKS LISTED ON HER SITE. Lily was happy to consume as many mysteries as she could get her hands on. All that changed when she read Raymond Chandler's "Red Wind" and she realized that she wanted to write more than anything.
"A Bitch Called Hope", a noir mystery set on the rainy streets of Portland, Oregon, is Lily’s first novel, released in February, 2013. Her second novel, "Betting Blind" was released March, 2016, by Diversion Books. "All In", the third in the Lennox Cooper series will be out May 15, 2018.
Lily lives in Portland with two corgis and several thousand books.
