MY GUEST POST ON N. R. WALKER'S BLOG
TELL US ABOUT YOU.
I live in sunny Northamptonshire in the UK with hubs and my two twenty-something “children”. I taught in primary schools for over twenty-five years before discovering the wonderful world of m/m fiction.
WHEN DID YOU START WRITING?
Surprisingly, I discovered m/m novels through Twilight about four years ago.
As a teacher, I never set out to become an author. Although I often had story ideas whirling around my head, I never wrote them down. But after reading slash Twilight fanfiction for a few months, I suddenly had an idea in the middle of the night, and wrote my first two chapters the following day. It was during my summer holiday and I remember thinking “Why am I wasting my time on this?” I posted on FanFiction.net and added some more chapters over the following months, which were het. I have since rewritten this story, deleting the het scenes. The story is now called Heartbeat and it’s still on my FF profile (sue273). I started Oxford Blues during a bout of insomnia. This story rapidly gained followers and introduced me to many friends in the Twilight fandom. Other stories followed, along with a wider readership and, after joining Facebook, I met up with many people who encouraged and helped me along the way.
WHY SELF-PUBLISHING?
I edited some of my stories, and then sent them to a couple of publishers, but they weren’t interested in writing that had been previously offered as fanfiction. I have to thank Tee Baggins because she suggested self-publishing, helped guide me to all the right places, and held my hand as I published my first book. I decided to publish my own fiction myself, as it’s so much quicker than waiting on a publisher.
BEST ADVICE YOU’VE EVER BEEN TOLD?
Life is too short to stuff a mushroom.
Seriously, your best form of advertising is your next novel. So keep writing …
CRAZIEST THING YOU’VE EVER DONE?
Not necessarily crazy, but this altered the course of my life. I ruptured my Achilles tendon while barn dancing. I didn’t do it on purpose! In fact, I almost didn’t go to the party that evening because I was feeling ill, but it was a friend’s fiftieth birthday and I thought I couldn’t let her down. As a result, I spent the next three months at home in plaster and a wheelchair. It was during this time I discovered Twilight, YouTube and fanfiction. I wouldn’t be here now if it wasn’t for that evening! Now that is crazy!
THREE RANDOM FACTS ABOUT YOU THAT YOUR READERS DON’T KNOW?
I make and post gay-themed videos on YouTube and Vimeo.
I have a Shetland sheepdog called Barney.
For as long as I can remember I’ve wanted to perform a gymnastic routine on a beam.
WHAT’S NEXT FOR LILY G BLUNT?
I plan to complete my three fanfiction works in progress that I put on hold while writing my latest novel. I’m also writing a story using Van Gogh’s paintings and Don Maclean’s Vincent as my inspiration.
TELL US ABOUT YOUR LATEST RELEASE.
BOYS ON FILM tells the story of Stefan, a porn star who is confused about his sexuality, and Nate, an unpublished author of gay erotica.
Set in an opulent house in San Diego that also serves as a porn studio, the story follows Stefan as he falls in love with Nate, a budding author from England, and in the process comes out as gay. Despite working in a gay porn studio and having sex with his best buddy, Dan, on a regular basis, Stefan outwardly claims to be straight, although he enjoys the sex and substantial pay he earns from his gay videos. This changes when he meets Nate, who has been given the opportunity to observe the inner workings of Blue House Film Studios to add realism to his latest erotic novel.
THANKS TO MY FRIEND AND FELLOW M/M AUTHOR FOR THE INTERVIEW

A DARKER SHADE OF OXFORD BLUE
Now available in paperback
A Darker Shade of Oxford Blue - Set in Oxford, England, this sensual novel charts the developing relationship between Ethan Evans and Jason Birney—from their first encounter at the airport until Jason returns to the States three weeks later. The chapters are filled with a mixture of drama and angst as well as many sexually explicit scenes as the two young men become friends and lovers. Ethan is successful in his business life, but has been unlucky in love. This changes the moment he meets Jason—who has been asked to be a guest lecturer at Oxford University—and as they spend their first weekend sightseeing around Oxford, it is obvious the two are destined to be together. As they get to know each other, it becomes apparent that they went to the same school for a short while and now live in the same city. Ethan cannot recall seeing Jason before, but as the story progresses, Ethan realizes their meeting in Oxford may not be a coincidence after all.
Reviews
"Ms. Blunt tells a vivid tale of love and romance in a most intimate fashion. She holds your attention, not just with the gay sex but with the poignant story as well. She captures the desires and needs of her characters in a realistic and meaningful way. She's a great author."
"I loved reading this story. A very good mix of angst and hot hot sex...did I mention hot sex? for me to keep turning the pages until I had finished it to see what happened to these two lovely guys. I loved their weekend away at Activity Parks which is based on my fav place in UK! Loved the ending where Jason and Ethan's siblings turn up. As for the last two words...sigh oh so perfect indeed. I totally loved this and so worth the read!"
"Enjoyed this story very much. I highly recommend this author to anyone who likes a romantic story and sexy guys!"
"I must say that I was thoroughly impressed with this book. From start to finish it completely held my attention which is not an easy thing to do. I loved the way it was written, the development of the storyline, the characters, and the way it brought the characters to life. Both Ethan and Jason, the books two main characters, were well rounded out and presented very well; their lives were entirely believable, as well as the dialogue between them.
There was romance, joy, love, suspense, and moments of fear that were brought on by a very conniving individual as well as when all seemed lost between them (Ethan and Jason). Then there was the sex. Hot and steamy come to the fore in this sense, and the presentation of it was very well done.
Miss Blunt, the Author, has done a magnificent and exceptional job in writing this story, and to her I say "Thank you." I would love to see a sequel come along in the future, and would gladly read any other offerings she might have."

5* Reviews for 'You Can't Stop Loving Someone Just Like That'
"Not giving anything away, but this story was really beautiful and warmed the heart and prickled the eyes. Lily G Blunt certainly has a way of evoking such emotions in a person. I'll be following this author closely."
"I love the storyline and the characters. You can't go wrong with this author, she creates wonderful fiction that draws you in."
"Nothing like young love and this sang to my heart. A great short read! Brandon and Piers discovering their love and discovering one another. The best friend - well he wanted something he couldn't have, Brandon's love. Loved it."
"Great easy read with a nice twist included. Young lovers discovering the depths of their sexuality played out well by Ms. Blunt."
"Wow! What else can I say?? Teenage love, the hurt and the passion that springs from being in love. Hot and sexy when needed, tender and loving too."

Interview by M. C. Rayne
What made you want to become an author?
"I never set out to become one, although I often had story ideas in my mind which I never wrote down. But after reading FF for about nine months, I suddenly had an idea and wrote my first two chapters down in a day or so. I added some more chapters over the following months and then started Oxford Blues, which gained me many friends in the Twi fandom. Other stories followed, along with a wider readership and, after joining Facebook, I met up with many people and writers who encouraged and helped me on the way."

5* Reviews For 'Happy Anniversary, Jasper'
"On their tenth anniversary, Nathan remembers all of the wonderful moments of his intense relationship with Jasper.
Beautifully written, this is easily a favorite of mine. The love Nathan and Jasper share is so heartwarming that I couldn't help but smile. I felt as though I was right beside the two MCs, watching as they created a life together."
"Ok. I didn't read the warnings which to be honest I am glad about. Would have spoilt the story for me maybe. But even though the ending is what it is....I totally adored the description of this couple's love. I think it will be re-read over and over on my kindle, the same as the other two will be by Lily G Blunt and I look forward to more of her fantastic work."
"I really fell in love with Nathan and Jasper in this story. Hardly any books can pull at my heartstrings but this one has come the closest. I look forward to the next book in the series."
"I loved the original version of this and remember crying my eyes out, I didn't expect it to have the same impact this time - BOY WAS I WRONG! Maybe because I knew what was coming, but cry I did.
The way that this is told is beautiful, you can feel Nathan's emotions and the love that he has for Japser as he sits and waits for the love of his life on their anniversary in their favorite restaurant, but will he arrive?"
"This was brilliant! The only reason I didn't cry was because a friend told me how it ended... Totally my kind of story and if I wasn't aware of the ending, I would have blubbered."
