A Reader's Guide To Legend of the Bard An Adult Science-Fantasy by Alethea Lyons Pitch British Folk Music x Cyberpunk x Lost:Changeling A human bard & an elf hacker try to use music to release a trapped muse, rescue a baby, & stop a nuclear war. Their magic might save the world, if their own fragile health doesn't destroy them & their budding relationship, first. Chapter One Life wasn’t a song. Even the bloodiest song of vengeance and betrayal had the beauty of its tune. Life was a copper clip dreadful: cheap, gory, and lewd. Smog grasped at the pocked windows of the swaying citylink transpod. William O’Shaughnessy traced the shadowed outline of downtown Camira on the glass, tight grime-tipped gloves leaving a trail in the condensation. It trickled down, tears of a dying city unmourned by the parasites who sucked her dry and left her husk to rot. It wept in a way Will couldn’t. The hollow ache in his chest had long since drained him of tears.

If you want a new fantasy read but you don’t want to limit yourself to one book, buy the Haven Chronicles.

Find the Haven Chronicles here:

P.S. I'm writing book four right now.

When people-pleaser Jay gains guardianship of a curious tree spirit, she must find the joy in being human. But if Jay can't confront the lies and insecurities eroding her oldest friendship, she risks teaching the birch that life is about hiding who you really are.

Middle column: a white girl with freckles and bobbed brown hair standing in a field of flowers. Right column: a dish of ice cream with two spoons in it, a dark toned shot looking over someone’s shoulder as they fill out a complicated looking form, phone with text messages reading ‘He’s my bf not yours’ ‘Stay away from him,’ a Black person with paint smeared over their face.

I know it's early but this guy's been chomping at the bit to say hello again after his brief appearance. He doesn't get out much for a lot of the year. I thought he could have a week to himself - his story is Santa's EARLY Christmas after all.

Hi all!

Social media is like screaming into the void, something I know a lot of you feel. No matter what I try, my reach shrinks. Hopefully, a break will make my brain magically click on this marketing thing.

Street Team, cover reveal, and ARC allocating will remain open. All lynx in my bye-oh.

I'm on final edits for The Dreamwalker, so give me a page between 2 & 373, and I'll give you a non-spoilery quote.

(If you like it, you ARC applications are open. 👀 Limited rev1ew copies of other books available.)

Siblings are the main focus, but this one has romantic subplots, too.

This book is like a friend you can turn to in those moments. It says how about this? It might get you out of a rut or help you with exercises you do for fun to keep those writing muscles working.
