Lilith Strix
Blasphemously Yours - Well known bible stories told with complete disregard to the original writers and more than a few bad words.
Blasphemously Yours is a work of satirical theological nonfiction that retells fourteen foundational biblical narratives—seven from the Old Testament and seven from the New—through irreverent humor, feminist interrogation, and academically grounded commentary. Drawing on formal seminary training and two degrees in religion, Sarah Busby revisits stories such as Creation, the Fall, Cain and Abel, Job, David and Goliath, the Annunciation, Lazarus, the Crucifixion, and Revelation, stripping away archaic language and unquestioned reverence to examine the human dynamics beneath them.
While unapologetically profane and comedic in tone, the book engages seriously with issues of power, gender hierarchy, divine favoritism, narrative framing, and institutional control. Rather than dismissing faith, it interrogates how sacred texts have been shaped, interpreted, and weaponized across centuries. Blasphemously Yours offers readers—particularly those navigating deconstruction or spiritual skepticism—an informed, fearless, and darkly humorous reentry into stories they thought they already knew.

When Persona Becomes Permission
The pen name Lilith Strix was created with intention, clarity, and courage. Rather than hiding the author, the persona was designed to liberate the work.
Lilith Strix exists to write what might feel too sharp, irreverent, or dangerous under a primary author name, particularly in the realm of satirical biblical comedy. The persona signals immediately to readers that these stories will question authority, laugh at power, and engage sacred texts with wit rather than fear.
Under Lilith Strix, the book Blasphemously Yours could exist without apology. The name sets expectations: this is satire, this is intentional, and this is not written to soothe.
Importantly, Lilith Strix is not a fabrication of lived experience or identity. She is a creative container, a clear example of how pen names can be used ethically and effectively to protect genre clarity, reader trust, and artistic freedom.
For writers considering a pen name persona of their own, Lilith Strix demonstrates the core truth behind every successful pseudonym: when chosen thoughtfully, a new name doesn’t dilute your voice, it sharpens it.
