Lillah Lawson has been writing since she was 8 years old, when she won a short story contest at her elementary school. The story was about a Princess who gets tired of waiting for the Prince to show up and saves herself. Once she saw her words printed in the local newspaper, she knew she wanted to be a writer. Lawson's debut novel, a work of historical fiction titled Monarchs Under the Sassafras Tree, was released by Regal House Publishing in 2019, and was nominated for Georgia Author of the Year in the literary fiction category in 2020. The first in her horroromance trilogy, Dead Rockstar, was published via Parliament House Press in 2020, with sequels The Wolfden (2/2022) and Driftwood Dreary (8/2023) to follow. Her next work of historical fiction, So Long, Bobby, is set to release via Sword & Silk Press in the Fall of 2023. In addition to novels, Lillah's short story "The Lady and the Tall Man" appeared in the horror anthology "Shiver", edited by Nico Bell, in 2021. Her short story "Burn the Witch (Red)" will appear in the horror anthology "Chromophobia", published by Red Rooster Press and edited by Sara Tantlinger, in Fall 2022. In 2020, Lillah was awarded the UGA Arts/Flagpole Magazine's micro-fellowship, and her short story "Shoofly", featuring characters from her debut novel, appeared as part of the digital exhibit. Lillah, who enjoys straddling literary genres, is currently working on a southern historical thriller set in the 1980s. In addition to writing, Lillah enjoys working as an amateur genealogist and is currently pursuing her BA in History.
