I'm not a poet. I'm not even really an artist, and I'm certainly not a whirling dervish of knowledge. I can't make cool entries like some people can and I've never stunned anybody with the power of the written word, and I've never been given a special award for anything I've ever written in my entire life. So why is it that I think Grand Blue Door will make any difference to anyone? It's not Dickens by any stretch of the imagination, it's not even Jasper Fforde. It's a love story and a story about selfishness and ego and pride and hatred. It's about the rich and the poor. It's about the lovers and the fighters. I make it out to be more than it is, I think. It's just a story. It's just a dream. I'm just a Lili, and that feels so lame.
