Lucy Lyons worked in London as an editorial illustrator before realising she loved writing novels so much, she wanted to do that full-time.

She writes the nostalgic nineties Alex Martin Cozy Mystery series as Lucy Lyons, and her epic fantasy series - the Chronicles of Mealduth - as L. Lyons.

She now lives in leafy Surrey with her illustrator husband, two grown-up boys and a bearded dragon called Pancake. When she’s not at her desk writing, she loves to escape into the garden and other worlds.

But you have to do it your way, and the only way you'll end up with a finished novel is if you write. So make time for the writing. And good luck!(less)

I loved this book, it came as such a relief of a read amongst other novels that were dragging for me. Yes, it's cheesy, and yes, no way is the heroine from America, but the story is outstanding, engaging and funny. Emily is really relatable and her d ...more

The Black Bane by Lucy  Lyons
"I was lucky enough to receive an ARC of this from the author. That cover alone is enough to love this book!

A very clever book, with the feel of Smiley's People, brought into the 21st Century. Herron writes in a sparse and understated way. As a reader, you have put in some of the work which makes the gradual revelations ever more rewarding. The story itsel ...more

This is deliciously old school, which sounds ironic, considering it's science fiction, set in 2046. This novel felt like The Martian had been crossed with a Ben Bova classic. The recipe is; throw convicts onto Mars, have them set up infrastructure fo ...more

“Below the display, where you would expect to find number buttons on a calculator, is a large transparent square of plastic. An astonishing array of circuitry and electronics sit behind it - a smorgasbord of transistors, capacitors and other components.”
Lucy Lyons, The Finding Machine

“For there is nothing lost, that may be found, if sought.”
Edmund Spenser, The Faerie Queene
