Twice-nominated Astounding Award finalist Jenn Lyons lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband, a rebellious cait sìth, and a nearly infinite number of opinions on everything from Sumerian mythology to the proper way to make a martini. After thirty years as a graphic artist, art director, and video game producer (in that order), Lyons now happily splits her time between game development and novel writing. Her geek roots run deep, beginning with first edition Dungeons & Dragons in grade school and continuing today with an ever-evolving roster of hobbies--recent obsessions include pyrography, stenography, and medieval occult manuscripts. She is also the author of The Sky on Fire and the A Chorus of Dragons series, which begins with The Ruin of Kings.

"Moving at breakneck speed, Green and Deadly Things pairs incredibly compelling magical ideas with deeply terrifying monsters." - Daniel M. Ford, author of the Warden series

"Lyons's new stand-alone fantasy has delightful characters, a slow-burn romance, and a world with nature gone wild, quite literally. Fans of unusual magic and witty dialogue will find this a great read."- Library Journal, starred review
