Lilith
Follow Lilith, our feisty heroine, through a single day as she engages in conversations with her guardian nature spirits and makes realizations about relationships, love, and her childhood. This transcendent story takes us on a trip throughout flashbacks, memories, and dreams inspired by a chance meeting with a man in an Italian Market cheese shop. Take a Sunday stroll with the pair through the streets of South Philadelphia and listen in on their conversation. Time skews as parallel universes collide, creating a tight folding-in upon itself like the creases of a well-crafted burrito. Stories within stories are woven in reckless abandon until every moment converges as a single point in space. All existence magically becomes the present moment, proving that there is no such thing as time.

About the author
Ambika Devi
8 books26 followersAmbika Devi has been writing since childhood, filling the margins of her notebooks with stories, drawings, and poetry. Thankfully, her teachers never squelched this.
She writes at the crossroads of myth, emotion, and the unseen threads that shape our lives, where love and loss travel hand in hand.
Her voice sings through her pen, coloring the light of heartbreak and devotion. Humor is in her DNA, and she has a way of poking at us, asking what we are even doing here in this human existence.
Her fascination with mythology, the Goddess, and the interplay of masculine and feminine runs through all of her work. She sees these forces everywhere, woven into story, relationship, and the patterns of everyday life.
Her book Cupid Is a Bastard began as a conversation about why love again, followed by why that title.
She could quote mythology and explain that Cupid is the illegitimate child of Venus. She could admit to being a bitter nutter who has had one too many conversations with apparitions. Or blame ghosting behavior, because no one deserves to be dropped without closure.
Truth is a lot simpler than we give it credit for. Many of the people she held closest, including friends, family, and companions, have died. Her philosophy is that love can be arduous and can also hit exhilarating high notes. Writing became the way through it.
Ambika is the founder of Mythologem Press and the author of multiple books exploring mythology, the divine feminine, and the inner landscape of being human. Her work draws from ancient cultures and is rich with storytelling, shaped by a lifelong devotion to understanding the mind and the heart.
Peek inside her sling bag and you will find colored pens, a well-loved journal, an electronic library filled with books, and a deck of Tarot cards. Open the pages of her books and find a piece of yourself you did not even know was missing.

This is my first baby, the first novel I have published. She is me and I am she.
