The Becoming
by Lilith Thorn
Niamh is a good wife. She learned early on that crossing her
husband had consequences. Living quietly in the shadowed cage he has formed
around her, Niamh suffers his secrets and bares the scars they leave behind.
On
the night of her biggest humiliation Caleb enters the ballroom changing Niamh’s
course forever. He brings safety to her dark world and introduces her to the
possibility of escape. Will Niamh’s love for Caleb be the key to her freedom or
will it be her undoing?

Now for an interview with the author!
Can you describe your
dream home?
The basic requirements for my dream home would be open, light
and modern. Size wouldn’t matter as long as the footprint/flow made sense. I’d
love something that showcased some creativity. Nothing drastic. Gaudi is safe from
any copyright infringements from me. Maybe a cool design combining tiles and
wood or art work on the walls. I’d also have an outdoor/indoor shower. Walls
that stretch high with no roof, which would mean that the house is located somewhere
warm.
The most important part of this dream home would be to have
a great community surrounding it. Friends who would come by for a glass of wine
by the fire pit, to watch a Friday night movie in our living room or attend
birthday parties in our yard.
If we were to come to
your house for a meal, what would you give us to eat?
I’m a vegetarian, but my husband isn’t, so there would be a
selection of food on the table. We like to splash out and try something new
when we have guests, which is the opposite of what you’re supposed to do. The
BBQ is a featured appliance at a lot of our gatherings. We’ll often put a rub
on some ribs or rotisserie a chicken. Vegetarian options might also start out
on the BBQ, but I’m more likely to make something with butternut squash or
quinoa. In addition to the mains there is always white and red wine on the table
with dessert to follow.
Tell us about the
absolute BEST fan letter you have received.
I have never received a fan letter. I have received a few
good reviews. My favorites are pictures of people enjoying their copy of The
Becoming.
Say your publisher
has offered to fly you anywhere in the world to do research on an upcoming
book, where would you most likely want to go?
I’ll go almost anywhere. I love to travel. Lately I’ve been
wanting to return to Ireland. It’s been about nine years since we were there
last and would be lovely to take the kids to show them where we met and where
are families are from. Peru and New Zealand are two bucket list destinations I
haven’t been to yet, so I’d happily get on a plane and head to either of those
destinations.
Who designed the book
cover for the book you are touring?
I chose the cover the art, but the graphic designer at Tell
Well did the rest.

Now for a Excerpt from Chapter Six:
I began to remove my clothing, feet first, when I heard the
door to the sitting room open. Without hesitation, my guest walked through the
room to where I sat. Caleb. I was on my feet immediately, though I had barely
taken a step toward him before he had me enveloped in his arms. With both grace
and speed, the perfectly made bed and my body collided with Caleb on top.
I was lost to him for what seemed like a moment and forever
all at the same time. His hands and my hands both explored the figure opposite
them, as if they were making sure the other was really there. Our lips were
sealed to one another, tongues exploring as our hands were. My body
instinctively pressed itself against his with no desire to be anywhere else. My
skirts were bulky, blocking the heat from his body. My corset and Caleb’s
weight made it hard to breathe and I was fighting my own instincts to tear into
him with every bit of pent up desire that had accumulated since puberty.
Despite all of this, I was elated. There was nothing outside
of this moment, only the feel of his lips pressed against mine, his knees
pushing open my thighs to cradle his hips against my skirts, my breasts alive
and begging for his touch.
The spell was broken when he pulled his face from mine, his
hands searching to find a way under my many skirts.
“No hello?” I panted, smiling. Caleb smiled in return while
his fingers made their way to a small patch of flesh at the top of my thighs.
His hands hung onto my skin, pulsing, waiting for my permission to explore
further.
“Hello.”
He leaned down to kiss me again, but this time I turned my
head away. He didn’t remove his hand from its hiding place, nor did he look
hurt, but he paused for a moment waiting for me to tell him to stop. His eyes
locked into mine while his fingers slowly circled the flesh they were in
possession of, willing to give up this action and move to higher ground if
asked to do so.
I did my best to quickly assess what I wanted from him in
that moment. There was a strong pull to throw caution to the wind and let him
take my virginity right then and there. In fact, my hands had a strong grasp on
his buttocks and seemed very unwilling to let go.
With a deep sigh, a reluctant release of his backside and a
motion to sit-up, I blurted, “I was going to clean up before I came to find
you.”
Better than the “I think I love you” that was on the tip of
my tongue, I supposed.
Caleb rolled off me, allowing me to sit. He perched on the
edge of the bed and held his hand out to me. “I can help you with that.”
There was a devilish grin on his face. While I had called a
stop to our encounter this day, we both knew that the days to come would lead
to my undoing.

About the Author:
Born in Dundas, ON, Lilith Thorn is a restless wanderer. Her
first move was to St. Catharines where she earned a Theatre degree at Brock
University. Despite her parents’ wish that she would return home and work at
McDonalds after graduating, Lilith refused and instead moved to Toronto to give
acting the ‘Old College Try.’ After years of sacrificing her other passions for
the stage and an empty bank account, she put away those dreams to say “Yes” to
a different adventure. This took her to Dublin, Ireland for a few years where
she met, fell in love with, and married another Canadian who took her to the
one place she said she’d never live: Yellowknife. After nearly a decade in
Canada’s Great White North, Lilith looks forward to further adventures with her
husband and two children, just about anywhere.
Lilith Thorn is a pen name, the pseudonym used to protect
the innocent; that is, so she hopefully never has to explain to her
mother-in-law over dinner that she has written an erotic novel.

Thanks for hosting!
Thank you Wendi for hosting this stop on The Becoming's virtual book tour.
Do you have any ideas for a sequel to the book?
Hello Bernie,
I do have plans for a sequel. I'm at the beginning stages of writing it. I will be the story of Niamh's next chapter in life. The Becoming felt like a prequel while I was writing it, the next book will be a more in depth look at all of the characters.
Great excerpt!
Thanks Victoria. I hope you get a chance to enjoy the book.
Thanks for stopping by Rita. I'm glad you enjoyed this post.
