Meet the Author: Lizzie B Brown

Tell us about Obedience, Volume One:
The gist of the plot is a college professor goes away for summer break to forget his ex. On the last night of the trip, he hooks up with a younger woman that he finds out later is a student at his college. The big thing that drove me to write this story, besides my love of age gap romances, was the idea that the younger woman would be the one in charge in the relationship. You occasionally see age gap romances where he is submissive in the bedroom, but I wanted to explore past that. What if she was the Domme in the day to day of the relationship, too? The characters, funny enough, draw inspiration from myself at their respective ages.
 
Favorite line from Obedience, Volume One
"On your knees, Professor."

What finally made you decide to write a novel?
My friend told me what I wanted to read didn't exist so I should just write it...so I did, but that one is still a work in progress. XD I ended up writing Obedience (the serial) instead.
 
What is the most challenging aspect of being an author for you?
Finding time to write uninterrupted. Also, the finer points of plotting. I am a big picture pantser.
 
What is something you've learned along the way that might have changed how you wrote your first book?
Taking your time is important.
 
What piece of advice do you have for a new author?
Building an audience takes time. Be patient and give yourself grace.
 
What do you need to set the mood for writing?
It varies, honestly. Sometimes lo-fi music, sometimes silence. I learned to hard way that wine hinders more than it helps.
 
What is something you'd like readers to know about you as a person?
I love live reactions when people read my stuff. I also love to hear theories.

When did your last book come out?
Friendsgiving with Benefits came out Thanksgiving of 2023. It's a short best-friends-with-benefits erotic story.
