About Alethea Lyons
For starters, you can call me Thea (pronouns ze/she/or anything really).
I’m a queer writer of various types of SFF, including the Seer of York series published by Brigids Gate Press, and a number of short fiction works published by Eerie River Publishing, Bag of Bones Press, and others. I’m currently querying cyberfae adventure Legend of the Bard.
I’m also the British Fantasy Society Event Coordinator for Greater Manchester. See my upcoming events page for details of what we’re doing.
I live in Manchester with my spouse, our little Sprite, a cacophony of stringed instruments, and more tea than I can drink in a lifetime. (No bergamot ones, please.) I play a lot of console RPGs and used to play D&D and similar games before I had a small child. We enjoy going out to museums, parks, and woods. When safe, we go to the occasional protest. All of my books do have a bit of a political message in them.
You can buy my books, aesthetics, or come hang out with me on social media via the links on my Link Tree.
