Meredith grew up in New Orleans, collecting two degrees from Louisiana State University before running away to Chicago to be an actor.

In spite of doing each of these things twice, she couldn’t stay warm and relocated to Nashville. She owns several swords, but lives a non-violent life, saving all swashbuckling for the page, knitting scarves, gardening, visiting coffee shops, and cuddling with her husband and two panther-sized cats. Her first novel Ghost Tamer is an Amazon Editor's Pick, an IBPA Benjamin Frankl ...more

Middle Aged Women, you are not crazy

For most of my adulthood, I have had excellent control over my body.

I’m not just talking about ability to move or athletic prowess, although I have been fortunate enough to hone these skills to an above average level. I knew how to change my diet a week before my period started so that I could have easier cramps and less bloating. I knew at what point on my cycle I should schedule certain tasks.

"If I can’t convince you to read this book in one line, nobody can:

Blood-thirsty battle unicorns.

A Dagger of Lightning by Meredith R. Lyons
"There’s a lot to love about this book (and its sequel, A Horn of Onyx). I’ll start with one of the most refreshing bits:

The protagonist isn’t a teen or twenty-something. She’s 45. She’s existed as a human on earth long enough to not be a bright-eyed," Read more of this review »

Why are people being so mean to this awesome book?

I normally read fantasy or scifi, but I absolutely adored this book. I am a character first reader and the characters did it for me. I cannot wait for the sequel. I literally could not put this book d

You have to love an Anastasia Romanov story. And personally I love that the rest of her family is a little bit involved here as well. I was rooting for Anastasia the entire time! (Not so much her brother, Alexei. LOL) I loved how they figured out the ...more

I had so much fun reading this book. Marlitt is insane, but I really enjoyed how obsessed she was with finding the truth. She really puts everything on the line. I enjoyed all the side characters, there were several really believeable red herrings, a ...more

“to live in this world

you must be able
to do three things
to love what is mortal;
to hold it

against your bones knowing
your own life depends on it;
and, when the time comes to let it go,
to let it go”
