Welcome to the worlds of Susan Quilty, indie author. Picture of Susan Quilty with her current books.

Books unlock the secrets of imaginary people in imaginary worlds. They let readers explore places they’ve never been and befriend people they’ve never met. If you’re new to my writing, welcome to my worlds!

Welcome, Bitter Lily Books, LLC

Welcome!

I’m Susan Quilty, and I am an indie author. I enjoy writing character-driven novels that often have a science fiction or fantasy twist. Such as a machine that records memories or an imaginary house that can transport certain people to entirely different places. My podcast, Freely Written, features 10-minute stories free-written from a prompt with no planning and very little editing. You are welcome to suggest writing prompts, and you never know where those stories will go! Being an indie author is a labor of love. Thank you for all of your support!

Blog

On my blog, you’ll find a little bit of everything. Updates, behind-the-books info, and reflections on both the indie author life and life in general. Welcome to my jumbled mind! If you want to know more about writing novels, hosting a short story podcast, running a publishing company, or anything else, let me know. *Pro tip: clicking on categories and tags listed under any blog post title will bring you to a list of similar posts.

Book Trivia

NEW! — If you love reading, test your knowledge of book trivia with some quick quizzes! These simple quizzes feature books I love, books I’ve written, and stories from my Freely Written podcast. Some also explore writing, words, and related topics. With most of these quizzes, repeat plays may bring up a different set of questions. Try your luck again and again!

Support an Author

In addition to buying my books and listening to my podcast, there are some other ways you can support me, such as following me on social media, reviewing my books on your favorite sites (Amazon, Goodreads, etc.), and telling your friends about my work. Any support you can give is greatly appreciated!
