edit data

L. L. Reynolds writes whimsical, heart-stirring fantasy that blends the mystery of Narnia, the magic of Hogwarts, and the wild charm of Percy Jackson. She is the author of the Rafe Ryder series, an imaginative middle grade/YA fantasy saga where angels train, guardians forget their missions, and fairies might be listening.

Reynolds writes with humor, warmth, and wonder, crafting stories for young readers—and nostalgic grownups—who believe that magic often hides in the moments we least expect. When she's not writing or conjuring new worlds, she can be found connecting with readers on BookTok or dreaming up new adventures over endless cups of tea.

If you’ve ever felt like the ordinary world isn’t quite all there is… her books are for you.

Ghost Etiquette: A Cemetery Field Guide for the Fearless.

by L. L. Reynolds I grew up beside a cemetery, which isn’t nearly as tragic as people think it sounds—unless you’re afraid of moonlight, crickets, and the kind of quiet that hums you to sleep like a lullaby. To me, … Continue reading →

Quotes by L.L. Reynolds (?)

“I'm not going to hold my breath. The wind can't even get our name right," said Rafe. "On good days, Blake's name is Gate Winblank, and on bad days, it's B. W. Ekal Etagin."
"Hey, I like the last one, and you're not one to talk, Reef Derry," said Blake with a chuckle.”
― L.L. Reynolds, Rafe Ryder and the Well of Wisdom
