Hi! I’m author L.A. Webster, but you can call me Lyn.
I write speculative fiction, mainly adult fantasy.
In 2020 I published my debut novel, a portal fantasy entitled Greenhaelan (Chronicles of Algarth #1), followed by Skalsinger (Chroinicles of Algarth #2) in 2021.

I chose this because it fulfilled a square of my r/Fantasy bingo board for this year (pirates; hard mode: not seafaring pirates). I knew nothing except it was about airship pirates and was written by Chris Wooding, whose epic fan
