edit data

S.L. Richardson is the author of the young adult Guardians of Orion fantasy trilogy. As a Texas mama and U.S. Air Force wife, S.L. didn’t start writing until her husband retired and, upon entering her fifties, she decided it was time to chase the dream (not running a marathon, but writing).
She released her first novel, Mark of Orion, in October 2019. Her second book, Light of Orion, released in July 2020. The last book of the trilogy, Hunt for Orion, was released on May 17, 2023. When not writing, S.L. can be found cooking, gardening, going to Houston Astros baseball games, and walking her German Shepherd (or maybe he walks her).
She lives in Texas with her incredible husband and is blessed with four amazing children.
