This week the Spotlight is on The Nameless One...
He was the only nameless one among his kind, the result of his mother’s forbidden affair with a human. He was the only one the others teased and tormented, the only one who longed for his own sex – a crime among his kind. And when he repeated his mother’s mistake with a human male, the punishment was terrible – his wings were broken, his body was crushed, and he was imprisoned in a bottle, freed only to grant the wishes of whichever greedy human found him next. And there he stayed, alone.
Faine was born different, too, his legs withered at birth, his little body left at the edge of the woods for the other abandoned ones to take in. Sylvonna the wise woman raised him in kindness, and the sheep he tended were patient with his slow, painful gait. It was a good life…only he longed for a lover of his own sex, and while there was no shame in it among his people, there were none among them who shared that longing. And so he was alone.
The forest whispered to Faine, that he would find love…that his true love was coming soon.
And when the nameless one was at last freed from his prison, his release would come on a mountain, near a forest…a forest where the world’s other outcasts dwelt. A mountain where Faine would bring his sheep to graze…
“The Nameless One” is a fable, a fairy tale, a love story about two broken creatures who are made whole at last.

Author Q&A Part I with Lily Adile Lamb...
Where
are you from, and where do you call home?
I am Turkish and I call Australia home. I’ve been living here
for sixteen years now.
What
inspired you to start writing?
The more I read, the more characters popped in my head demanding
me to write their tales. With each one, I wanted to give the message “Love is
universal”.
How long have you been writing?
Just over a year… I
know, I am a new entrant to this field.
What advice would you give a new
writer just starting out?
I would say, sometimes
all we need is our little hope and motivation to give our dream a chance to
eventuate. Just write what is in your heart and head and then make sure you
have beta readers and a very good editor. Be open minded because you want readers
to like your story. Be humble and develop some thick skin because there will
always be someone who will say something very personal and you may feel hurt.
Remember, when you write, you are leaving yourself exposed out there for
criticism. Take a deep breath and make sure your story went through the editing
system.
Lily Adile is from Turkey. She works as a nurse by day and writes LGBT Romance by night.
She visits her family in Turkey regularly and travel to other countries like Singapore to visit the other family members.

She is blessed with three grown up children and a furry child, JJ Basil.
Lily Adile's focus in her LGBT stories are on mere mortals because she believes that love is universal. Her mortal heroes are not rich, famous or incredibly handsome males with six pack bodies… rather they are just everyday men who work hard and deal with whatever that life throws at them.
Lily Adile is against bullying in any form. She is actively involved with Marriage Equality and stands by the same sex couples who want to have children. She believes that primarily, a child needs a loving, protective home.
Lily’s biggest regret is not studying English formally because writing stories, consequentially, takes much longer. She still gets there of course, thanks to her bevy of loyal and supportive beta readers, editors and wonderful friends.
Lily especially thanks her husband with all her heart for his endless patience, love and support. He is the love of her life and apple of her eye….he is the home she goes to at the end of a hard day at work.
"I am both a mother and wife, I work as a nurse during the day and write LGBTQI stories late at night once the family are tucked in bed. I studied in the UK and worked there for a few years before I moved to Australia, settling down for good."
Lily Adile Lamb also supports a couple of LGBT book groups on Facebook ~
And you can contact Lily via email anytime, she loves to hear from fans!
