Author Information

INTERVIEW WITH LILITH WHITE ABOUT THE WRITING OF BREAK ON THROUGH TO THE OTHER SIDE Lilith White was born and raised in South Africa. When she picked up a pen, at age thirteen and wrote her first love poem, she knew she was destined to be a writer. From that moment onwards, she spent all her time, staring out of classroom windows, writing poetry. She started writing a 'fantasy novel' at age eighteen but like so many other books, she began with gusto, she never completed it. She says she still has it in a box somewhere and will one day finish it for her grand children. A few years after the suicide of her husband, and father of her children, she felt compelled to tell her story. And so began a twelve year journey of writing her creative non-fiction, memoir, Break On Through to the Other Side, originally entitled Open Heart Surgery. Writing is not a choice for me, says Lilith, It is a gift that flows naturally. This book had a momentum its own. I would sometimes write deep into the night, without noticing the time. I completely lost myself in it. Not completing it was never an option. Whenever I took a break from it, there was always something nudging me to go back and give it a new breath of life. It was unstoppable like the ebb and flow of the ocean. Finally putting my story 'out there', after all the long hours and years of dedication, is the most exciting, yet scary, adventure I have ever been on. I have shared so many universal questions. It is not only about the mystical events I experienced. Anybody who has ever felt struggle, grief or heart break, will relate to it. Lilith is working on her second creative non-fiction, memoir but when I ask her, if she finally found her soul mate companion, she just smiles and says, Now that would be telling! If it's anything like Break On Through to the Other Side, which had me completely mesmerised, I can't wait to read it!
