A Little More About Me...

Throwback photo to my early pre-publishing writing days.

I began writing seriously in 2011 when I started to book blog. I participated in NaNoWriMo that year and wrote my first published book, If Only We, which is currently published under my real name Jessica L. Tate. It took me nearly two years to finish writing and revising the story and I published it on October 27th, 2013.

A couple months later, I decided to write a steamy romance. This is where Lilly Avalon, my pen name, was born. I published Here All Along, a short story, on Valentine's Day in 2014. From then on, I continued to publish mostly under the pen name because I was loving writing romance with sexytimes, although I do on occasion still write the sweet romances under my real name.
