Lindsey began writing stories at a young age, enjoying the escapism of fantasy worlds where anything could happen. When she writes, she focuses on creating complex characters who are neither perfectly good or bad.

​She grew up in New York, but moved to Europe to complete her doctoral studies in History. She uses a pen-name to keep her academic publications separate from her fiction work, but her pen-name does have personal meaning.

When she was a child, her mother asked her what she wanted to be when she grew up. Lindsey responded: "A Bird," and so this name helps make that dream come true.

Shy by nature, Lindsey does not spend much time on social media. Instead, she can be found taking long walks and looking for new birds to add to Merlin ID.

The Chamos Project by Alexis Ames
"I received a free advanced reader copy from the author.

This book is definitely ambitious, but Ames manages to pull it off. The story is multifaceted, and you really start to see how the layers come together as the book progresses. There are often sev" Read more of this review »

The Chamos Project by Alexis Ames
"Extremely compelling story of a shipboard doctor, android rebellions, and a lot of observations about what it means to be human.

This is a very thoughtful book about a group of colonists on their way from Earth to Alpha Centauri. The protagonist is a" Read more of this review »
Lindsey Byrd and 1 other person liked InkFoundry's review of The Chamos Project:
The Chamos Project by Alexis Ames
"A character driven space opera, The Chamos Project is a tense, romantic, and cathartic read. It begins a little slow as it sets up the trappings of a cyberpunk mystery-- Big Money and Big Politics invest in a journey that will make or break the futur" Read more of this review »

“I swear to you, if you take that crown, I will do everything in my power to ensure that there will be peace eternal between our lands. And I swear . . . I will never leave you to face that burden alone.’
Slowly, Cat raises their hands to his lips. 'Then I swear an oath to you, Elician, King of Soleb. And I bind my life to yours.’
Elician leans forward, kissing Cat’s knuckles in turn – and sealing the promise on both ends. ‘My life is yours too, Alest, King of Alelune.’
Cat’s eyes catch a flicker, to their left. He gasps. Elician turns too.
Outside, shooting stars are flying across the sky in breathtaking, streaking bursts without end. It marks the moment their fractured houses quietly join as one.”
Lindsey Byrd, The Sun Blessed Prince
