About the author

Lyra Marlowe

<p>Lyra Marlowe has been writing since &ndash; well, since she learned to write. Her very&nbsp;<br /> first book was selected to be read at the Young Author&rsquo;s Conference for&nbsp;<br /> elementary school students. &nbsp;They told her she could write, and she&rsquo;s never&nbsp;<br /> stopped.&nbsp;<br /> <br /> As a teen, she conspired with her best friend to write a young adult novel. In&nbsp;<br /> college, she wrote plays that were performed by the theater department, and&nbsp;managed to hook an actor boyfriend in the process. &nbsp;She wrote poems, newsletter&nbsp;articles, and even a short story about a head in a box. After college she married&nbsp;the actor. One year he suggested that they write erotic stories for each other as&nbsp;Christmas gifts. &nbsp;She tried it. She liked it. A lot. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br /> <br /> Lyra has lived on the shores of Lake Erie all her life, but dreams of a land where it&nbsp;<br /> never snows. &nbsp;She and her husband have three children, two dogs, and one&nbsp;<br /> demanding cat. They share a Victorian century home with a gentle grandmother&nbsp;<br /> ghost who loves babies but hates painted woodwork and the color purple.&nbsp;</p>
