Meredith R. Lyons

Meredith grew up in New Orleans, collecting two degrees from Louisiana State University before running away to Chicago to be an actor. In between plays, she got her black belt and made martial arts and yoga her full-time day job. She fought in the Chicago Golden Gloves, ran the Chicago Marathon, and competed for team U.S.A. in the savate world championships in Paris. 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. She is a member of International Thriller Writers and Sisters In Crime. Her first novel Ghost Tamer is an Amazon Editor's Pick, an IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award gold winner for Best SciFantasy, and an IPPY Award gold winner for Best First Book. A Dagger of Lighting releases April 1, 2025, both with CamCat Books.
