Buffy's Ramblings

Lily Crussell is a YA fantasy romance writer and an all around sweet, supportive, fun person. She gets involved with other writers and bloggers and even started up a SWAG exchange program on Facebook. Her debut novel, Of Darkness and Light , is up on Amazon and it's a neat take on angels with fun characters and a sweet love story.
