My goal is not to amass more money than I could ever spend. It's to procure more books than I could ever read.

International Fantasy Book Giveaway While I love a young ingenue, I was delighted to find out that the heroine of Meredith R. Lyons’ A Dagger of Lightning was a normal, forty-five-year-old woman who is still struggling to find herself. ...

Can't wait to hear what you think! It's a little more emotional. Thanks so much for reading! It's so fun to 'meet' readers.

Thank you so much! That was one thing I really wanted. Let's have someone with life experience go feral on all the immortals. 😅

I know! I did feel kind of bad about that, but honestly, I thought I'd have a new date to give everyone by now for the sequel! However, if you liked the banter/relationships, Ghost Tamer does not have a cliffhanger if you want to scratch an itch. :-)

Thank you so much for reading it! I'm so glad you loved it! My publisher has had book two since late January. They said they'd let me know in early April so... hopefully some news soon?

Huzzah!

We Mere's have to stick together.

Hey! I recognize one of those!

Baby's first trade review! I'm so happy with this review for A Dagger of Lightning with Publishers Weekly that I'm tossing it into the bluesky void.

I was supposed to meet Julian for coffee this morning. We had to reschedule to next week due to the storm. The last time we met for coffee, it was warm, we sat outside, and I gave him a copy of Dagger.
If you like YA SciFi that makes you think, check out Julian's Memory Index duology.

⚡COVER REVEAL⚡

Let's get one thing straight: I am not your chosen one.

A DAGGER OF LIGHTNING is a fantasy romance with a spaceship on top, with fated mates, forbidden love, plenty of swashbuckling, and a bantery middle-aged protagonist.
Cover design by Maryann Appel

And people are SALTY at me for the same post in Threads. Accusing me of not having been here last year. Telling me to 'go back to the tundra I came from.' LOL, I'm like, you mean New Orleans?

Right? It's like, this happens every January. And while I agree with staying off the roads, it will only be like that for 24 hours. No one is going to starve.

Tennessee, calm the fuck down. Everything will melt by Monday, you don't need to purge the stores of bread and milk. Honestly everyone can likely 'survive' on what they already have. Just buy a(three) bottle(s) of wine and some cheese like us sensible hedonists. #FirstSnowOf2025

Thanks @yumewrites for checking out Dagger and giving it some love! I love the comparison to a glass of sparkling rose. 🗡️⚡🥂
