Lillian Duncan Visits the Suspense Sisters

by Patricia Bradley

Today the Suspense Sisters is happy to welcome author Lillian Duncan to our blog to be grilled, er, gently questioned about her life and her newest book, Trapped.

SS: IF you had to describe yourself in one sentence, what would you say?

Lillian: I’m a Christian writer who loves God, my husband and books—in that order!

SS: What do you do when you’re not writing? Any interesting hobbies?

Lillian: My husband and I love to camp. I’m not very outdoorsy, but with a camper and all the amenities, I enjoy it. My type of camping is definitely not “roughing it.”

SS: What was your favorite book as a teen or child?

Lillian: That’s way tooooo long ago to remember! But I did read anything I could get my hands on. Agatha Christie was certainly a favorite.


SS: Tell us three things about yourself that might surprise your readers.

Lillian: First, I’m very short! I’m only 4’8” so when you’re that short it affects the way you look at life.

Second, I love animals. At the moment, we have two dogs and two parrots.

Third, I was diagnosed with brain tumors more than seven years ago. As a result, I have a lot of health issues, but God still blesses my so much in so many different ways. The least not being that I can still write stories!

Oh, my, and you've managed to keep a wonderful attitude! What is the most valuable piece of advice you’d like to give to unpublished authors?

Don’t give up! It took me 15 years to get a traditional contract. What if I’d given up at year 14 ½?

SS: I think that last paragraph is the most important! What would you like readers to know about your story?

Lillian: TRAPPED is a definite page-turner, but still has a spiritual message as well.

What’s next from Lillian Duncan?

I have another book that should release some time next year—JANE DOE. It’s filled with lots of action and a little romance—my favorite type of book to read or write! Along with that I’m also working on the third Puzzle House novel—SUFFER THE LITTLE CHILDREN.

Giveaway: Two is always better than one, especially when it comes to giveaways. So, to celebrate the release of TRAPPED, I’m having two different giveaways!

Back cover copy 

Angelina Matthews has everything—riches, fame, and beauty—until the day she's kidnapped and trapped in a basement with a madman, wearing only a stained t-shirt. The dirt is his—the blood is hers. Tormented and tortured, she cries out to God. 

Help comes in the form of Nate Goodman. 

When their paths cross months later, Nate discovers Angelina is still trapped—not in a basement but in the memories she can't escape. Nate knows all about being trapped and getting un-trapped. As an ex-Chicago cop, he's had his own demons to wrestle, but his faith helped him to move forward. He reaches out to Angelina whose paranoid delusions have her trapped still. 

But are they delusions after all?
