Pinnacle Book Achievement Award Winner Readers' Favorite Award Winner Independent Author Book of the Year Award Winner "A whimsical and philosophical fairy tale for the modern age." When Lillian, the one-and-only heir to the throne, is cast out of her kingdom by malevolent forces, she accidentally wanders into the Forest of Forgetfullness, where she is rescued by wolves and raised by an eccentric old wise woman. When she comes of age, Lillian is called by Destiny to return home. The trouble is, when she steps out of the Forest, she has no memory of who she is or from whence she hails. Undaunted, the spirited, self-reliant young woman sets off into the unknown, determined to rediscover her long-lost self and reclaim her stolen birthright. Most of the tale is told by Lillian herself, as she chronicles her extraordinary adventures. This offbeat debut novel, written and narrated by multi-media artist Suzie Plakson, is an allegorical saga full of comedy, calamity, and a host of unforgettable characters. Reviewers have compared this unconventional fairy tale to such classics as The Alchemist, The Princess Bride, Stardust, and The Wizard of Oz. "The Return of King Lillian is a basket of magic. Echoing Joseph Campbell's feeling that the world needs new storytellers and new myths to help us greet the coming age, I'll say that Suzie Plakson is one of those storytellers, and King Lillian is one of those myths." - Jacob Nordby, author, Blessed Are the Weird: A Manifesto for Creatives "King Lillian is entrancing, audacious, and addictive in the very best way. A splendidly creative allegory told by Suzie Plakson with flair, wit, and passion." - Marianne de Pierres, author, Parrish Plessis and The Peacemaker series "To say that King Lillian thoroughly enchanted me and left me spellbound would be the understatement of the century. I've listened to hundreds of audiobooks, and King Lillian is my favorite of all. Suzie Plakson's voice is velvet mixed with grit mixed with enchantment. It takes you into another realm - into the mystic." - Kelly Sullivan Walden, author, It's All In Your Dreams www.kinglillian.com www.suzieplakson.com
Autorenporträt
Suzie Plakson has been in love with fairy tale and myth ever since she was a young lass growing up in the wilds of suburbia. The idea for THE RETURN OF KING LILLIAN first came to her when she was a struggling theatre actor in New York City, doing odd jobs, improv comedy, and various off-off-Broadway productions. She eventually landed a lead in a national tour, which dropped her off in Hollywood, and since that time she has appeared in such films and television shows as MAD ABOUT YOU, LOVE AND WAR, WAG THE DOG, DINOSAURS, EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND, HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER and STAR TREK. She has also worked as a voiceover artist, written short stories and poetry, written and recorded an alternative country album, created an allegorical solo show, and produced sculptures large and small in her otherwise unused oven. THE RETURN OF KING LILLIAN is her debut novel. Read more at: kinglillian.com and suzieplakson.com
