Welcome to episode #4 of the Storybound podcast! In today’s episode, I’m speaking with Lillian Empire. In this episode we explore what is was like to be late diagnosed as an adult with ADHD, the impact it had on our lives and the grief we had to process. Lillian is also a writer and we discuss how she manages her writing career alongside her ADHD.
Lillian Empire first attempted to write a novel in the fifth grade but failed horribly. She was born in the mountains of West Virginia, but she was raised in the valleys of Virginia. Lillian majored in history and conducted her primary research on crime and gender in Victorian England. When she’s not writing, Lillian enjoys pretending she has a green thumb, reading gay romance or any type of thriller/mystery, and doing genealogical research on her family. Lillian’s special talents include reciting all US states in alphabetical order and (kind of) singing classical pieces in her mezzo-soprano voice.
