A Lily Among Thorns is a tale of a husband and his wife, and their loving relationship.  I don't view this novel as a typical "romance," where the plot is primarily concerned with "getting the girl."   The guy has gotten the girl, and he is concerned with "getting" (i.e. understanding) the girl. But, along the way, he also starts understanding himself.  And most of all, understanding love.  The story begins with the newlyweds on the threshold of their new life together...

I am pleased with how A Lily Among Thorns turned out, and even I never dreamed that it would end up the way it did!  (I guess my subconscious did the writing.  And I felt no need to rewrite it.  The way it reads, is how it came out of my fingers.)

But, I admit that I am trepidatious about sharing this story with anyone, because it is an intensely personal story for me, and I deeply felt every sentence, every word.  I wrote it not for the general public, but for myself.  Because, I had to.  I was compelled by Love to write this, as many poets, writers and artists are compelled by intense feelings to express themselves.  I hope it's as good for you, as it was for me!

Sincerely,
Les Vierges

CAUTION:
A Lily Among Thorns is rated "R," for sex.  It didn't seem natural for me to write a story about two hearts and the love they share, then censor out their lovemaking.
