Hi! My name is Lyra Thompson, a young writer from Kansas pursuing her passions. I'm a student at Southwest Baptist University, majoring in Media Studies and minoring in Writing and Editing. My favorite genres to read are (clean) YA romance, historical fiction, contemporary Christian, and dystopian. As for my work, I write contemporary YA.

I have always been a storyteller, even before I knew how to write, and have loved reading and writing from a young age. Outside of books, my interests include singing, video games, board games, rock climbing, and cuddling my cats against their will.

"Write your story such that reading it moves the melancholy to laughter and the giggly to guffaws." -Cervantes, Don Quixote ...more

"There was power in literature. Brilliant and undeniable." 4.25/5 stars. This was the second book I've read by this author. I enjoyed it, but it had a pretty slow start, which is why it's not a 5-star book for me. I loved the characters and the overal ...more

Lyra Thompson liked Bekah Baty's review of The Secrets We Kept: "I wanted a historical fiction mixed with a bit of a spy thriller. Instead, I got a chick-lit romance with an essence of spy. The POVs were unclear and I often forgot whose perspective I was reading until halfway through the chapter."
