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.

Prince of Fortune by Lisa Tirreno
"I LOVED THIS BOOK. It's like a warm hug. Lovely world building, political intrigue, engaging characters with a twisty turny plot. A really amazing debut - already looking forward to seeing what Lisa does next! "
Lindsey Byrd and 1 other person liked Jay's review of Prince of Fortune:
Prince of Fortune by Lisa Tirreno
"I liked this book.

I think I would have liked it better as an adult book, with more exploration into some of the darker elements. But I do think that the author did a great job of including them as they were.

I liked the world and the family dynamics" Read more of this review »

Prince of Fortune by Lisa Tirreno
"I loved this book. The unique magic system, the characters, the world building, all combined together to make for a book I didn't want to put down. I really felt for the 2 main characters and wanted the best for them right from the start. "

Quotes by Lindsey Byrd  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“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
