The story was about a Princess who gets tired of waiting for the Prince to show up and saves herself. Once she saw her words printed in the local newspaper, she knew she wanted to be a writer.
Lillah's debut work of southern gothic, "Monarchs Under the Sassafras Tree", was released by Regal House Publishing in September 2019, and was chosen as a finalist for The Georgia Author of the Year Awards 2020 in the Literary Fiction category. Her novel "Dead Rockstar", will be released by Parliament House Press in November 2020, with a sequel, "The Wolfden", TBA. She was recently chosen as a recipient of The UGA Willson Center/Flagpole Magazine Micro-Fellowship for her short story "Shoofly", which will publish in late 2020. Her short story "The Lady and the Tall Man", will appear in a yet-to-be-announced anthology in early 2021.
Happiest when straddling literary genres, Lillah enjoys writing historical and literary fiction, southern gothic, thrillers, horror and dark fantasy (which she lovingly refers to as "nerdy noir"), as well as essays, poetry and more. In addition to writing, Lillah is also a genealogist, avid cyclist and hiker, baker and music aficionado.
Lillah lives in Georgia, in the United States, with her partner, son and three rambunctious animals. She is currently working on another novel, a historical southern gothic thriller.view less
