Hi! My name is Lavay (Love-ay) Byrd.

I write stories inspired by narratives and legends of old, set in uniquely fantastical worlds. Stories with epic adventures, life-changing journeys, battles of good and evil, and occasionally… horses!

Overall, I write simply by inspiration… to inspire.

My hope is that you'll enjoy these stories... and BE INSPIRED!

Read some of your favorite books to get the gist of the different writing styles. You can even take some writing courses to help you get some practice.

Another great advice is to keep a special journal with you to store ideas that may pop in your head. That way, in case you get a writer's block, you'll have your journal in handy to help get back on track.

If you become inspired to write from a book, then go for it! But remember: writing a “successful” book (fiction or nonfiction) is not always easy, and it can be time-consuming. Along the way you may run into some writer’s blocks, learn new things, let things go, or decide to make some changes, like I have. But if you keep writing and never give up, you may find out that it will all be worth the hard work!(less)

Ooh... that's a tough question. Well, there are several "storyworlds" I would love to visit.

First off, I would love to go off to Rohan, realm of the "Horse Lords". Why? Because of horses! I would train as a Shieldmaiden... or even serve as Lady-in-Waiting to Lady Eowyn (one of my favorite characters.)

I would also love to visit Rivendale to simply relax and gaze in awe of the beauty and peaceful atmosphere.

I would even like to visit Narnia. Hang out with the Centaurs, Unicorns, and Talking Horses. And even walk the gardens with Aslan!

There are so many others I could name and explore!

“Be strong my daughter, and be of good cheer. You will not be alone, for We are with you.”
― Lavay Byrd, The Miraculous Birth

“Born from an unbred filly, nurtured by a stallion, the Light Horse shall come as a mortal, yet untainted by Evil’s curse.
He shall carry the power of restoration, and speak the Wisdom of the Divine Ones.
Upon his death, the earth and sky shall tremble; the Curse of Evil shall be broken. He shall free the Sons of Stallion and the Sons of Mare.
On the third day, the Light Horse shall rise and reign over all.”
― Lavay Byrd, The Light Horse

“The Dark Horse stretched his neck forward, his wicked grin revealing huge fangs. "Do You really believe that You are truly the Light Horse, Son of the Great Horse and King of all Equines?”
― Lavay Byrd, The Light Horse

“There is always Something More than what we see,
There is always Something Within for us to find,
And there is always Something Beyond the here and now.”
― Lena Karynn Tesla, Something More

“Safe?” said Mr. Beaver; “don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

“He'll be coming and going" he had said. "One day you'll see him and another you won't. He doesn't like being tied down--and of course he has other countries to attend to. It's quite all right. He'll often drop in. Only you mustn't press him. He's wild, you know. Not like a tame lion.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

“All shall be done, but it may be harder than you think.”
― C.S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

“If there's anyone who can appear before Aslan without their knees knocking, they're either braver than most, or else just silly.”
― C. S. Lewis, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
