More from Lillian
JANE DOE is my latest novel and it’s a doozy!
What’s the genre you ask? It’s suspense with lots of drama and action…but it also a political thriller…but it also has a lot of mystery components…but there’s the romance element as well… and let’s not forget the spiritual message! No matter what genre you classify it as, it’s one I think you’ll enjoy!
So how did JANE DOE come about?
I’d finished all my edits on a current book and was feeling very uninspired. I had no idea for my next story, so I went on FB and asked people to send me an idea for my next suspense novel. An old high school friend sent me the suggestion to write a story where the main character struggled with memory loss.
Mmmm… but the old amnesia plot has been done and it’s a big no-no that writing experts warn against. I took the challenge and wrote JANE DOE. It’s definitely not your typical amnesia plot, but the main character is haunted by her memories.
First, because she doesn’t have them and then because she does!
Raven Marks survives a brutal kidnapping but just barely. Along with a broken body, her mind is broken. Even though she can’t remember the details of her kidnapping, she’s haunted by the thought that someone else is being victimized by the kidnapper she can’t remember.
Her journey to discover the truth leads her to the highest politicians in the state and then the country. Each reclaimed memory brings her closer to the truth—and to even more danger.
I’m not going to give away the plot, but there’s plenty of twists and turns to keep you reading late into the night!
Author Interview
Do you have a favorite or special place to write?
When I’m at home, I write in my office and only in my office. But when we’re camping, I write in our camper or even sit outside at a picnic table if weather conditions permit.
Describe your book in five words.
JANE DOE: Overcoming a tragedy with God.
Which one of your characters speaks most to your heart? Why?
Definitely the main character, Raven (Jane Doe) Marks. Though our circumstances are quite different, I definitely experienced the brokenness that she experiences in the story. I was diagnosed with bilateral brain tumors in 2012. For the next five years, I struggled with symptoms, treatments and the effects of the treatments. But in the struggle, I developed a trust in God that I would never have had without the brain tumors.
Do you prefer traditional books, ebooks, or audiobooks?
I prefer traditional books but do read a lot of ebooks since they are much more convenient. Audiobooks are a NO for me—one of the effects of the brain tumors was a significant hearing loss so…no audiobooks.
What advice would you give to aspiring writers?
Don’t quit! It took me fifteen years to get a traditional book contract. Now I have more than twenty published books, have had bestsellers, and was a finalist for a national book award. What would have happened if I’d given up at year 10 or 14 or 14 ½?
