What lead you to realise you wanted to be a writer? And why monster romance?

Lilith: I've wanted to be a writer since I was a little girl as I made up stories during long car rides and wrote my first story with pen and paper as soon as I could. I was bored of my first pen name and was looking for something new. After I read Found by the Lake Monster by Lilian Lark I was completely hooked to the genre! I knew I wanted to delve into the monstrous and after devouring everything I encountered I wrote my first Ghost short story and have not looked back since!

What was the most surprising lesson or self-realisation you encountered while writing your books?

Lilith: To bury your darlings. It is something I read in a writer group and it really helped me to push forward even when a book I loved writing didn't do well in sales. There is always my next story idea that might be better and might be loved by more people.

What is your favourite part of being a writer?

Lilith: Connecting with my readers! Every comment, review or DM makes me love the craft more and more!

Which authors or works, if any, do you draw inspiration from? And why?

Lilith: Oh so many! Everytime I read a new book it sparks another idea in my brain to do my own spin on it. My latest read, Forgotten by Evangeline Anderson gave me an idea for my next Alien story that will have an amnesia story line.

What is your favourite moment from any of your books?

Lilith: It will have to be the p*gging scene from Lilly's Werewolf Pet. It was first for me and for my characters which I absolutely loved writing!

Your new book, Saved by the Swamp Monster, is out! Is there anything you’re especially excited for readers to experience?

Lilith: It has oviposition which is something that I love reading about but isn't in enough books!

Which of the available stickers in Sticker Drop: Flings & Stardust is your favourite?

Lilith: G! I am obsessed with Ephyra and my next House of Desire will have a female Kraken inspired by her <3
