Cleaning out my closet - an update
I hope some of you out there took part in BioB's spring clean event.
I shortlisted ten books that I'd had hanging around from when I first joined the genre. Ten books in a week was probably a little bit optimistic, but it gave me a certain degree of choice. I did try not to think too hard about which book to pick, although I purposely left Dangerous Ground as my last choice because I have the full series now and will be bumping the book up my to read list.
As it happened I didn't get as far as...

Cleaning out my closet
How many of us have a huge 'to read' pile? Some books languishing at the bottom of the pile for months, maybe even years, as new, cheaper, more hyped books come along to bury them. I'm ashamed to say that I have.
What's the solution? Read them, obviously, but how to get the drive to read something buried for so long?
Well, the girls over at Boys in our Books have the answer. (taken from their facebook page)
JOIN US! We're having SPRING CLEANING WEEK at BoiB.
Here's what to do: find the ONE...

Therese Takes Over
Hello, everyone! Therese Woodson here and I’m guest posting on Lillian’s blog today to promote my newest novella Clockwork Horizon.

He meets Ian, a charming airship pilot, who agrees to show him the ropes aboard the Mockingbird. With Ian’s encouragement, Malachi breaks out of his shell and embarks...

Thanks to Katherine Halle for tagging me in this blog tour. Check out the post about her own writing process here.I haven’t tagged anyone of my own but if you are a writer and you wish to take the baton and run with it, be my guest. I’d love a mention (and a link back to this post) on your blog if you do. Or not, the choice is yours.
1) What am I working on?
Normally I like to just work on one project at a time; it helps me keep characters and storylines straight in my head. If I have an...

Guest post - Jo Myles
Guess who's hanging out at my blog today?
Yep, it's my chum, Jo Myles and she's here to chat about Tailor Made, art, sewing and a sequel.
Hi Lillian, thanks for having me over to answer some questions today. Always a pleasure to hang out with you!
There is no mistaking you as a British author, it is reflected in every word that you write, whether it be in language, attitude or the area. In Tailor Made, much like Merry Gentlemen, Bath is a real and interesting backdrop to the story. Do you ever w...

Should I be concerned about attending the UK Meet in June?
This breaking story on msn news implies that I should be.
Crocodile run free: mystery as creature 'on the loose' in Bristol
I'm particularly impressed by the advice of Avon and Somerset Police's chief constable, advising people to 'think twice before you go water-skiing'.
The same story was covered in the Western Daily Press where it was confirmed that the police had established that Bristol Zoo 'had not lost a crocodile'.
