  I’ve been wanting to move my blog over to my website for some time now. Its been hosted at Blogger since 2005. Well, what better way to procrastinate, than to do just that! From here on out, my blog will be right here with the rest of my website. I do plan on moving some of those other posts over here but for now, you can read them on my blogger page, Lost in Solitude. Now, if you spend any time here looking at the pages, You’ll notice something funky going on with the menu. The BLOG link jumps from left to right. That’s because the blog is ‘separate’ from the main website and I can’t for the life of me figure out HOW to get that blog link to show up on the far right like its supposed to so for now…just pretend you don’t have to chase after it. *wink*

Finally, after two years, I have another Christmas story coming! This is a full-length novel and is part of my Willow Creek Series. It is a stand alone story but we’ll get a chance to see some of our favorite characters from the past five books. So, without further ado, here’s the shiny, brand new cover! I LOVE it. It may turn out  to be one of my favorites. A Willow Creek Christmas Widowed with two young children, Keri Hilam is desperate to escape her abusive brother in law, going so far as sneaking away in the dead of night in hopes of finding a better life. She never regrets leaving, not even when they find themselves stranded, starving, and alone. Fate brings them to Willow Creek, Montana, where they’re rescued by an unlikely hero, an ex-confederate soldier who seems more monster than man.  The war leaves Noah Lloyd scarred and bitter. When the girl he left behind broke his heart, he turned his back on the life he used to know, and sought refuge in a dusty little town that afforded him the solitude he wanted. Finding a woman and her kids hunkered down in an abandoned line shack in the middle of a blizzard is the last thing he needs. They’re ragged, half starved and vulnerable, and he’s determined to leave the trio in the care of the town marshal.  But the innocence of a child at Christmas breaks through Noah’s hard exterior and Keri’s tender care allows him to see that life may be worth living. All he has to do is let go of his past and let this unlikely family love him. Releasing November 25th, 2013 All material &copy2005-2012 to Lily Graison

It’s been a long time coming but the time is near! If you received my eNewsletter yesterday, you will have seen that there has FINALLY been a release date associated with this book. I’ve purposely held off announcing the release date. I know, that’s mean, right? Well, not really. Back last year before THE RANCHER was to be released, I ran into a few personal problems (not worth mentioning ‘what’ they were) but…I missed the release date. The book wasn’t finished when I ‘thought’ it would be and it pushed my schedule way behind. Add that stress on top of what was already wrong and the later part of 2012 was one big cosmic wedgie! The emails pouring in didn’t help, either. Well, they did in a way. It let me know readers were chomping at the bit to get their hands on the book but with every email, I felt just a little bit more desperate. I was letting my readers down and that guilt only made the stress more severe. Fast forward a few months to my actively working on HIS BROTHER’S WIFE. I ‘had’ a date set on my website for this book but I promptly removed it. I didn’t want a repeat of the release date mistake because I honestly didn’t know what would happen. Good thing I did too. I again missed my projected date. I decided the best thing to do was wait until I at least had a first draft completed before even thinking of release. I now have that completed, plus rewrites, so only editing remains and I can safely say the book will be more or less ready in the very near future so without further ado…..May 27th, 2013 is the magic date some of you have been waiting on!  The book is the first full-length novel in the Willow … Keep Reading! →

Book 1 in my historical western romance, The Lawman, is now FREE at participating retailers! See what reviewers are saying and read a excerpt below. The Lawman – The Willow Creek Series, Book #1by Lily Graison On the run from her ex-lover… Jilted by a no-show husband… And now mistaken for a whore in the Diamond Back Saloon… Abigail Thornton doesn’t think things can get any worse. That is until a single slap to a man’s face starts a barroom brawl that lands her in the last place she expected to be. Town Marshal Morgan Avery wants nothing more than to wash away the trail-dust and sleep for a week, preferably with a soft, willing woman by his side. Instead, he gets Abigail Thornton – all one hundred pounds of her thrust at him seconds before a fist connects with his face. Breaking up the fight takes more effort than he wants to admit and when the last man falls he finds Abigail still standing and not looking the least bit contrite. Throwing her into the town jail for the night would salve his wounded pride and then he will let her go. Or that was the plan. When morning comes he finds himself oddly reluctant to do so. Miss Thornton is hiding something and he aims to find out what, even if he has to bed her to do so. But will one night in her bed be enough?
