Very happy.
Seven years ago, I'd never have believed I'd still be writing or had so many books out.To everyone who supported me, who still supports me, a very big thank you.
No, none are under my 'real' name, but I have no problem about anyone knowing it. However, I find it helps to have pen names. I put that 'hat' on, get into the mindset, and start writing.
So we have Raven for hotter romance, Kera Faire for dark romance, and Katy Lilley for sweeter romance.
I mustn't forget J. Lilley for YA either.
(You can find them all on Amazon,
under whichever pen name you want to look at)
Writing is something I love. I was very fortunate that when I was first published, my then publisher let me try my hand at whatever I fancied. (Thank you Breathless Press) This gave me the chance to discover what I preferred, what I was okay at and yes, what not to touch with a bargepole.
There's nothing nicer than having the opportunity to discover your strengths and weaknesses.
I know I love Regency, adore writing stories set in places I've lived in or visited all around the world, can't write sci-fi or horror, and seem to be migrating to sweeter stories most of the time. Not all of the time though *wink*
Of course not everyone likes what I write, and that's fine. We all have our likes, dislikes and preferences. But that won't stop anyone who wants to write. We just grit our teeth, smile sweetly and get on with it. I tink in the first place, if you have writing in your blood, you write and hope others will read it. But you can't not write.
After all, what can be better than a coffee and a good book?
and on that note, I'm heading back to write
Want to know what? Ah well, you'll have to wait and see...
Happy Reading,
love Raven, Katy, Kera and J
