One of my favorite ways to celebrate the holidays is to leave copies of ONE FOR ALL in Little Free Libraries across DC 💜 ⚔️
A hand holding a hardcover copy of ONE FOR ALL (cover: An illustrated cover: a girl with brown eyes and brown hair in an updo, in a red pink dress, is surrounded by swords and backed into the corner of an alley. She confidently holds her own sword, which has leaf filigree detail. To her left, the reader’s right, there is an archway leading into darkness. On her upper left is a window. On her bottom left is the shadow of a sword pointing at her back. Above her, the shadow of a figure in a hat holding a knife looms above her. ONE FOR ALL is centered and is in a sharp silver font that mimics the swords (some of which intersect the title.) LILLIE LAINOFF is in a small gold font underneath. At the top of the cover, there is a blurb “There are no limits to the will—and the strength—of this unique female hero.” —Tamora Pierce, writer of the Song of the Lioness series and the Protector of the Small quartet) in front of a Little Free Library.

Happy International Disability Day (Also known as International Day of Persons with Disabilities/IDPWD)!
I'm reusing this graphic from a couple years back because 1) lack of spoons and 2) it is the #1 disability-related quote that people have highlighted in their e-copies of ONE FOR ALL and shared..
A green background with a deep magenta overlay and gold filigree. It reads Happy International Disability Day! Underneath is One for All in a sharp silver font, followed by an illustration of Tania (girl with brown hair and eyes, wearing a pink ballgown and holding a sword) and the quote: "Whatever this dizziness is... maybe it's never been the real problem. It's horrible... but it's not the thing that tears me apart. The problem, the real problem, is the people who decide I'm unworthy because of it."

ONE FOR ALL, my debut novel, is a gender-bent reimagining of The Three Musketeers with a main character with POTS!

*Inspired by my experience as a competitive fencer with POTS.

When I got a book deal, I promised myself that, if
ONE FOR ALL earned out, I'd buy a fancy desk and fancy
office chair with the first royalty check.
l never had a real office... not until last week, when I
finally made good on that promise I made to myself :)
a wood desk, which is in front of two bookshelves, featuring a variety of titles. Behind the desk is a gray office chair. On top of the desk is an alphasmart, a closed laptop, a hardcover of ONE FOR ALL, and a purple notebook.

Meme of Please Give a Mouse a Cookie Cover/Please Give a Bitch a Break, replaced with "Please give AUTHORS a break" "WE work very hard" "WE'RE trying OUR best" "WE'RE so tired all the goddamn time" Original cover is of a handdrawn red title, red crayon to the right and a drawn cookie on a page. Atop a green background, a cartoon mouse in overalls screams.

Hi everyone! I'm Lillie, author of ONE FOR ALL, a gender-bent reimagining of The Three Musketeers with a main character with Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. It's full of found family, dueling in ballgowns, and inspired by my experience as a fencer with POTS.

And I'm here now I guess??
