Braedyn is a normal girl just trying to survive high school with her two devoted friends, Royal and Cassie. Together they’re doing a pretty good job of shrugging off the slings and arrows cast their way by the popular crowd when a new boy, Lucas, moves into the house next door. Suddenly Braedyn finds herself falling in love for the first time.
But as her sixteenth birthday approaches, Braedyn discovers humankind is at war with the Lilitu, an ancient race of enticing demons that prey on human souls. Her father is a member of the Guard fighting against the Lilitu – and so are the new neighbors, including her crush, Lucas.
As her world starts to unravel at the seams, Braedyn learns the right answers aren’t always clear or easy. And as for “good” and “evil” – it all depends on how we choose to act.
Inspired by the ancient Mesopotamian myths of Lilith and her offspring, Thrall explores first love, strong friendships, and taking on adult responsibilities against the backdrop of powerful supernatural forces and life-and-death stakes.
Tell us a little about yourself and how you got into writing.
What inspired the writing of Daughters of Lilith? Did you always know it would be a series?
So – to answer your question – I always planned it to be a series… one way or the other. 😉
What has your road to publication been like?
I decided to publish the story on my own, designing my own covers, learning all about ebook formatting, etc. And the response has been so gratifying – I only wish I’d started publishing years ago!
How did you work the mythology surrounding Lilith into your world building?
What do you enjoy most about the writing process?
How would Braedyn describe herself in a tweet? Lucas?
Braedyn: Just your typical girl… who can turn herself invisible… and invade your dreams… and maybe mess with your head–but totally normal aside from that!
Lucas: Dealing with Weird since 2007.
If given the opportunity to play a role in Daughters of Lilith, what would you be doing in the story?
What are you working on right now?
