Twice-nominated Astounding Award finalist JENN LYONS lives in Atlanta, Georgia with her husband, her cats and a nearly infinite number of opinions on anything from Sumerian mythology to the correct way to make a martini. After spending thirty years working as a graphic artist, art director, and video game producer (in that order), Lyons now spends her days writing fantasy. She traces her geek roots back to playing first edition Dungeons & Dragons in grade school--a passion she's continued as an adult--as well as pursuing whatever craft or skill she's obsessed with this week: pyrography, beadwork, stenography, furniture upholstery, etc. Her five book epic fantasy series, A Chorus of Dragons, begins with The Ruin of Kings.
"Praise for Jenn Lyons: ""It's impossible not to be impressed with the ambition of it all, the sheer, effervescent joy Lyons takes in the scope of her project . . . a larger-than-life adventure story about thieves, wizards, assassins and kings to dwell in for a good long while.""--The New York Times on The Ruin of Kings ""Epic fantasy fans looking for a virtually un-put-down-able read should look no further.""--Kirkus Reviews (starred review) on The Ruin of Kings ""Rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it.""--Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians, on The Ruin of Kings ""Lyons proves she is worthy of comparison to other masters of epic fantasy.""--Booklist (starred review) on The Name of All Things"
