Author Event: Eric Rickstad

Written by Eric Rickstad with deep human insight and unnerving suspense, Lilith is a tale of our times.

After her son, Lydan, suffers traumatic injuries in a school shooting, single mom Elisabeth Ross grows enraged at men in power. If they won’t do anything to help end this epidemic of violence, she will. She sets out to awaken the world to the cowards these men are and commits her own shocking act of violence. Praised by some, demonized by others, and hunted by the FBI and vigilantes alike, Elisabeth must keep her identity a secret as she tries to care for her son. As events take startling twists, Elisabeth begins to question her act of violence and the very roots and mythology of violence itself. Was her act justified, or has she become the monster that the original Lilith was accused of being? As the FBI draws closer, Elisabeth fears she’ll never escape what she’s done without losing her son forever.
