author

I'm A.T. Atmore from Kingston upon Hull and I write mystery/thriller/crime/horror.
My first book is Lily, which is a modern ghost story that's out of the ordinary and deals with social issues that others are cautious about approaching. I try to present situations that are not only shocking but also raise a number of questions. But the most important aspect for me is always to make sure that the reader has fun.
There are three main rules I follow. The first is to write books like nothing I have ever read before. This, as a bookworm, is not easy to stick to, but so far I've managed.
I like books that are impossible to put down, because from the first page, like a raging river, they grab you and carry you along. That gives me the second rule I keep in mind when writing.
The third rule is perhaps the hardest. Well thought-out twists are not easy to write, because they have to fit into the story in a way that keeps everything logical and exciting. I want to write books that the reader will want to pick up again, because by the time they get to the end, they will have seen the whole story in a different light.
My book, Lily, follows all three rules, and even more than that, because through the character of the fragile little girl, it manages to evoke emotions that may stay with us forever, but only if we give it a chance.

Lily wanted revenge for the horrors that no child should have to live through, but she messed up and committed a crime that is no worse.
What can she do to ease her guilt? How can she achieve forgiveness? Face the consequences of her actions and accept her punishment? Or try to do everything she can to make things right? She chooses the latter, but her options are limited and only one person can help her, Marcus. But for a long time, the young man, unable to understand the child's increasingly annoying attempts, is unable to decipher the messages behind her actions.
Meanwhile, Lily is watched from the background by two mysterious figures, Rosalka and Black, whose help is not well-intentioned. Yet, it is up to them to decide the fate of the girl, and they are responsible for her good or bad decisions. Lily listens to them, but in time she realizes that the only way out is to free herself from her captors. But when that happens, events take an unexpected turn and the rules of the game change.
Lily's story is about sin and how circumstances can mitigate punishment. The innocent character of the girl leaves a mark on us, and the twists and turns take the reader on an emotional rollercoaster.
