About Lili

About The Books

About The Characters


Is that her real name?

Yes. That really is my real name. It is not a nom de plume or de guerre.


Does she really work in a bookstore?

Yes. I volunteer at Cover to Cover Books in downtown Vancouver. However, my schedule is fluid, and my schedule information will not be given out over the phone or by email.

How do I contact Lili?

Due to the volume, I cannot respond to many emails. Rest assured that I do read each and every one. Use this link to email me, if your question isn’t answered by this FAQ. And we’ll see what happens.

I am very sorry I can’t write in-depth replies to all of you. But I can either answer fanmail or I can keep busy writing those books you love, and I think we both want the latter. You could even post your question in the Saint City Street Fair, and if I can’t answer another Reader might.


Will Lili read my book/ short story/ fanfic/ screenplay?

Unfortunately my time is at a premium and I don’t offer editing or critique services anymore. All the writing advice I can offer you may be found in my weblog or Livejournal.


Where do I find Saintcrow books?

The best place to find a complete list of in-print Saintcrow books is under my Amazon listing or my wiki bibliography. You can also check out the Books page. Clicking on a book cover on this site will generally take you to either a sample of the book or a listing for an online bookseller. You could also contact Cover to Cover Books and ask them whether they have the book in stock. (If you get the book from them, there’s a very good chance I can sign it for you before it goes out.)

See? Lots of choices.


When will the next Watcher book be available?

Unfortunately, I have no control over this. You can email the publisher, ImaJinn Books, and they will be able to tell you with more certainty than I can.


When will the next Valentine book be available?

The fifth and final Valentine book, To Hell And Back, was released in January of 2008. A short story featuring Liana Spocarelli (with a cameo by Dante Valentine) was released in the Mammoth Book of Vampire Romance. There are no more Valentine books planned at this time–all my energy is going into the Jill Kismet and forthcoming Strange Angels series.


Are there more Society books?

There are two more Society books planned but not, as yet, written.


Does Lili sign books?

If you’d like to set up a book signing, please click here and we’ll see what we can work out.

If you’d like a signed copy of a Saintcrow book, you can also ask Cover to Cover Books. They’re very willing to send signed (and personalized) books for cover price plus reasonable postage. (They do also mail overseas.) All my books except for the Anna Beguines are available, signed and/or personalized, through them.


What about Valentine’s Fall?

Valentine’s Fall was the working title for Dead Man Rising. Somehow the working title slipped through the production department (poor lads and lasses, they had enough to deal with.) So, just to clear up any confusion, Valentine’s Fall is Dead Man Rising, out in paperback September 2006.


Are there any movie plans in the works?

None right now.


What’s this about books published under another name?

You can find some of my previous work here, under the name Anna Beguine.


Is Japhrimel really dead?

The word I’d use to describe Japh’s status isn’t dead. It’s more like…dormant. And that’s all I can say until you’ve read Dead Man Rising.


Who are Lili’s characters based on?

There are some secondary characters based very loosely on people I’ve known. But none of my protagonists are based on myself or anyone I know or have known.


Is SIGMA real?

No. SIGMA and the Watchers (not to mention Circle Lightfall) are all fictional, though I do take some liberties with American and European history in many of my books.
