This week the Spotlight is on Awkward in Love...
Awkward in Love Ilhan started off on the wrong foot with John, and somehow he always seemed to stay there. When the college student hastily looked away from the apartment building’s hunky maintenance man, John thought he was stuck up. When he tried to get John to knock on his door by leaving his trash out for pickup, John though he was a messy tenant. All he wants to do is get John’s attention, but he always seems to do it wrong…
John’s always seeing the little Turkish twink strutting around like a little peacock, in his too-tight clothes, but it’s hard to ignore that perfect little ass, no matter how bad his manners are. He’s nice to the other tenants, John knows, so he must be cold to John because of his job as a “mere maintenance man.” Too bad, because John would love to see what’s under those clothes.
Yet when one of Ilhan’s more embarrassing moments brings them together, each realizes they’ve been mistaken about the other, and also, so right. And all the awkwardness between them is washed away…
But when Ilhan’s conservative Turkish parents come to Perth to visit, and find their son locked in an embrace with another man, the stress of their demands could tear the two lovers apart...

Author Q&A Part III with Lily Adile Lamb...
Do
you do research for your books? If so, what does that entail?
Always. I research on main characters ie. Greek mythology, or current
affairs. I want to write stories that inspire people and challenge them a
little.
How
many books have you written? Which is your favorite?
I wrote four
stories…while I love them all because they are like my children, but “Awkward
In Love” is one story that stands out for me. Ilhan represents our humanity,
for me. He is a socially awkward person who does what comes comfortable for
him. One minute he bakes and another moment he belly dances (Yes, in Ottoman
days, belly dancers were often males.) He is neither an alpha male, nor a
femme. He is just loving, funny, silly Ilhan who has the hots for the care
taker of the apartment he lives in.
Do
you hear from your readers much? What do they say?
Every now and then, out of the blue, I receive an email that
they loved my story. I get all giddy and tearful. That day, I reread those
emails which are like Turkish Delight bites for me.
Are
you working on anything at the present you would like to tell us about?
I am editing my first fantasy lesbian story. I loved researching
about the characters and certainly loved writing the story with the message
that love is truly universal. True love is unconditional is my motto in my
stories.
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 ~
