Her aunt, on the other hand, home schooled them and tried for many years to marry them off to prospective suitors in hopes of entering higher society and cutting expenses. Her uncle, being quite stingy, gave her sisters two dresses each, and had all meals consisting only of porridge and salted herrings to save costs. Lilly and her youngest sister, Ella, shared a room on the first floor, with a window overlooking Green Park. However, after her parents died, her and her siblings moved in with their uncle and his wife into their simple brick home on St. For the first few years of her life, she lived with her sisters and her parents on an estate in the country.

The subsequent books in the main series followed suit and have also been self-published.Lilly is the second-youngest of six daughters, born to a gentleman. Thus, the author decided to self-publish and was able to cover publication costs through crowdfunding on Indiegogo. Publishers did not want to publish the first book of the main series as they thought it was too long.

The inspiration for the series stemmed from the Suffragist and Chartist movements in the 19th-century that the author extensively studied during university.

The story is set within the theme of the film and is non-canon in regards to the main series. Sometime while Storm and Silence was being written, the author was offered an opportunity to write a spin-off story in an alternate reality by Lionsgate Films to promote its film, The Age of Adaline. It focuses on the adventure of Lilly's friend, Amy Weston, and Lord Patrick Day. It was written in thanks from the author to the fanbase for voting for the first book from the main series in the Romance category for the 2016 Goodreads Choice Awards.Ī spin-off story takes place after the seventh book of the main series. The following work takes place in between the second and third book of the main series. It is a stand-alone novella that was commissioned by Radish Fiction and is exclusively on the mobile app. The prequel takes place shortly before the beginning of the first book in the main series. The following is a chronological list of the main books formatted as: Title (year initially uploaded online | year officially published). However, the first book is an exception to this as chapters were uploaded to Wattpad only at the time and then the book was self-published since the author did not start using Radish until the second book. Currently, there are six books in the main series. For each book initially, the chapters are individually uploaded on a weekly basis onto Radish and then Wattpad. When completed, they are edited and published as an individual book both electronically and in paperback.
