Blurb:
When Lilith fails to comply with the plans of Man and The Creator, she is punished to an existence that costs her the fruits of humanity. Every moment becomes a never ending spin cycle of memories mirroring profound loss, recalcitrant rage, and immeasurable suffering.
During a Halloween party at the Arcadia Chateau, the blue-green eyed brunette Jet leaves an impression which shatters the equilibrium of Lilith’s cloud of darkness. Is this a temporary aggravation or the start of a much needed resurrection—the fire of love in a heart iced with hurt?

Excerpt:
It is believed that before the Genesis of the human age, Adam had a wife
... a first wife; Lilith.
Created from the same ground from which Adam was molded, Lilith proved to
be a bit more than his subordinate.
She was his equal.
Legend has it that Lilith was strong willed, independent and unyielding.
All of the things that Adam did not want in a wife.
Red hair, sensual curves and red-brown eyes, Lilith was voluptuousness in
the form of a woman. Passion, ardent and burning vitality. Lilith considered
herself Adam’s compeer in every way—second to none and nothing.
What Adam hated to admit was that Lilith was his weakness, his burning
desire, and his fierce, iniquitous poison. As much as he wanted her, he also hated her. It was her authority
that continually dominated him, and her lasciviousness that seduced him. He was
less of a man when he was around her, yet he also could not feel more
empowered.
Adam realized that his obsession with Lilith was a lecherous enthrallment
and nothing more, for he could not love her. Neither could he be her master.
This was the problem. Adam’s job was to be in control, to be the head. The
leader of Lilith and all of their descendants. For this, the Creator had made
him.
Yet, around her—Lilith—he was nothing more than a groveling, dribbling,
insecure excuse for a man. She had him wrapped around her little finger, and
this suited her just fine.
Adam, not so much.
This was not what the Creator had mandated. Not what he intended when
making them both. He needed Adam—level headed and trustworthy—to be in charge.
However, with the ever present seduction of Lilith, this wouldn't be possible.
Something must be done.

The sound of a single long nail clicking against a hardwood table was all
that could be heard in the room. Why? Because all of the noise and commotion
was in her head.
Voices, memories, flashing thoughts. Chaos!
Nothing more and nothing less.
The upsurge of rampant thoughts caused her mouth to slap with thirst—suck
her teeth in upheaval. Lilith’s thirst was soon to be quenched, she was
certain. She’d already made the preparations. Yet, the riot that was Lilith’s
unending trail of assaulting musings would probably never be quelled.
The light of night poked through the monumental stained glass windows.
One ray in particular beamed across the room, perpendicular to its point of
origin, then ricocheted from a mirror to shine a slender bright stream of
yellow-orange light on the table. The thin beacon glowed not too far from where
her hand tapped an agitated finger.
The room was enormous and regal, yet devoid of any exuberance. Filled
with scarce furnishings—the mammoth hardwood table and the innumerable chairs
that surrounded it. Old, decrepit paintings adorned the walls.
The air was stifling, consumed by the scent of mothballs, molded and aged
wood.
How did I get here? Lilith’s
thought, although in her mind, seemed to echo through the stretch of the empty
room.
“Madam, your supper is ready,” squealed Lilith’s faithful attendant, though
indubitably pitiful as he was, whilst walking in. The aged, wooden double doors
screeched upon his opening them. Then, he closed them, without as much as a
glimpse back. His skin had not seen the light of day in so long that it had
lost its color. A peculiar shade of tan-gray, wrinkled and rough, was all that
remained.
Throughout the years, Demetrius had become an old, dilapidated, fragile
corpse of a man—feeble and haggard, yet faithful. Lilith considered that while
his situation was different than hers, at least they shared the apathetic hue
of their skin color, albeit not her extraordinary good looks.
“Bring it in, Demetrius. Leave it,” replied Lilith as she waved a hand in
the air, with little to no regard whatsoever. Completely detached from human emotion
and void of fascination. She couldn’t help herself. All her vitality had been
lost eons ago.
“Yes, Madam,” responded Demetrius, then nodded his head and bowed out of
the room. Seconds later he pulled in a frightened brunette, who was so dismayed
that she’d lost all fight and merely shivered and sobbed uncontrollably.
Demetrius, grabbed a handful of the girl’s hair and tossed her on the ground in
front of Lilith. “Your supper my lady.” he said subserviently, then bowed out
of the room once more.
Lilith wasted no time whatsoever and with the blink of an eye had the
girl trapped, her fangs sunk into the girl’s main artery. The one located
between the thighs—Lilith had long since grown tired of the neck. It was too
convenient and she craved a bit of excitement, rare as it was.
Moments later, the girl’s life blood had been drained and all that
remained was a naked, pale carcass.
Lilith stood to her feet uneventfully, sighed deeply, dusted her hands
and then took a seat once again in her favorite chair.
With that, her mind whirled into its turbulent incongruity yet again.

hypnotized with dynamic characters, and stimulating one with engaging
narrative voices, strong plots, and epic conflicts. Her writes are as
complex and as distinct as her person; a delightful combination of
eclectic and antiquated. Therefore, the mere mention of fitting into one
