A bit about Lili

By -
Mythos: LILI G MUST DIE's Prīmulī Universe derives many of its concepts from classical mythology/religion. Lili's Uncle Michael (really her grandfather) was once known as St. Michael the Archangel, as well as Thor, Osiris and Apollo due to his infrequent interactions with humans throughout the ages. These days, Michael works as a curator of ancient Earth arts, while preventing Lili from melting everything she sees into slag. Lili also has another uncle: Gabriel (a.k.a. Ares, God of War). After her parents, he's her favorite relative.

29th century Azul differs completely from what the reader would believe, based on today's popular offerings. There is no social media. No one has a smart phone. The DataNet is highly regulated. Biotech implants, which had turned Earthlings into virtual zombies, were outlawed before the Exodus' arrival. Movie stars were long ago replaced by CGI and artificial intelligence created for the entertainment industry. In fact, celebrity status is only obtained through heroic deeds, tough choices and self-sacrifice.

And Lili is completely fine with all these things, being from a medieval world of magic, vampires, lycans and no technology. She has absolutely no problem combining Azul's limited tech with her magical abilities in order to spy on people and get into all sorts of trouble.

From the Saint Mary's Wildcats soccer team to the Obscure Language League to the R.I.P. Ryder Johnson Fan Club, operated by twisted little fans of a murderous traitor, Córdoba has plenty to offer the reader. The Gunnarsson Estate, the little blue house on the hill, Heladicious & Catarro's Ice Cream Parlor, Villa Roma Argentine/Italian Restaurant and the Plaza de Armas create a charming backdrop that is full of surprises. Mixing together growing up, teen drama, a bit of violence (actually, a lot), loyalty and deceit and the mystical and the physical, fans of everything from Harry Potter to The Mortal Instruments to the Percy Jackson series will enjoy the world (and universe) of Lili G.

AUgmenTISM - it's not just a made-up word

By -
It's a new term. It's stylized, and perhaps vaguely familiar. But what does it mean? Well, take out the gmen and you have the word "AUTISM".  Okay, that was obvious. But what isn't obvious is what the term is intended to represent. I guess the best way to describe it, without actually describing it, is to post up the hook for my manuscript of the same name: Bakersfield, California : Eleven year-old William Johnson, a special needs student with Asperger Syndrome, a mild autism spectrum disorder, breaks his arm after being pushed off his school playground's jungle gym. When Bobby Littleton, who caused William's fall, climbs down and punches the defenseless boy, William merely looks directly at the bully, who then inexplicably starts bleeding out of his mouth, nose, eyes and ears, and nearly dies in the process. Baltimore, Maryland : ADHD and autism researching psychiatrist, Dr. Jax Brady, learns of the Bakersfield incident and flies out to Califo...

Finally, after years of struggling with uninterested literary agents and publishers, and having received butt-loads of AMAZING reviews from BETA readers, I decided to pull the trigger and publish LILI G MUST DIE, the first YA installment in The Prīmulī Prophecies. Readers of the series already know Liliana. Born and raised in a restored, feudal Earth of the 43rd century, she experienced her first years in opulence and luxury, being the only child of Lord Kenneth and Lady Marcella Engel, of the Rhönen Dominion. After her parents, both borne lycans, tragically killed each other during a full moon, Lili was kidnapped by the callous minor mage Siegfreid, who performed illegal and nearly-lethal magical experiments on her, having somehow learned she is not only a borne lycan, but also a mage - a rare and extremely dangerous combination of enhanced subspecies. But Liliana survived. Castle life was hard. Having no land nor title, she was forced to work as a servant in the castle of...
