About Me
Lily J. Garett
For as long as I can remember, immersing myself in fictional worlds of books and movies has provided me with a sense of comfort. But I've always been a consumer, not a creator.
​
That is, until I gave birth to my baby girl and took time off work to be with her. During my time away from the career path that was, in one way or another, forced upon me, I realized how badly I missed tapping into my creative energy, like I used to when I was a kid. I would look down at my sweet baby and cry, both hormonal tears and tears of happiness, wishing that she would follow whatever path her heart wants, as long as it leads her to happiness.
​
So I took my own advice.
​
I wrote my first novel, which started as a passion project to unleash my creativity, pass the time, and refill my own cup. Along the way I made the decision to publish it. I thought, if I can make at least one person feel the way I do when I read a good book, then I've accomplished more than I could ever dream of.
I truly believe that happiness is a journey, not a destination. Once I realized that every single day I had to choose my own happiness, the pieces fell into place. I wish the world the same.
Thanks for the love,
L.J.G.
