About the Author

Lydia Sherrer is a fantasy author whose goal is to leave this world a better place than when she found it. Growing up in rural Kentucky, she was thoroughly corrupted by a deep love for its rolling countryside, despite the mosquitoes and hay-fever. She was instilled with a craving for literature early on, and her parents had to wrestle books away from her at the dinner table. Though she graduated with a dual B.A. in Chinese and Arabic, having traveled the world she came home and decided to stay there. She currently resides in Louisville, KY with her loving and supportive husband, and their very vocal cat. With an enormous passion for life, creating things, and discovering the world, Lydia crams her days with all sorts of adventure when she's not working on her next book. She not only loves to play her ocarina (think Zelda), but also enjoys traditional archery, cosplay, larping, and art. She believes dark chocolate and tea are legitimate sources of nutrition, and one day hopes to visit every country in the world. Lydia is not just out to write good books, but to make the world a better place, one story at a time. Her goal is to write with a purpose and inspire others to reach for their dreams, because she's reaching for hers and loving the adventure.

Editorial Reviews

"Magic, mayhem, and mystery combine in this exceptional debut novel from author Lydia Sherrer. A natural storyteller, Sherrer sets out from page one to spin her tale in a voice that is in turns both snarky and sincere, and you know right away you're in for an unforgettable ride."

- Lori Brown Patrick, Grammarwitch LLC

"Sherrer paints a wonderful picture of the reality of magic in the world and the believable people that use it...If, like me, you like the fantasy of Harry Potter or The Dresden Files, and also the relational wit of shows like Psych or Chuck, you'll definitely be a fan."

- David Stevenson, author of "The Surface's End"

"The hilarity in some of the scenes, while picturing a mischievous witch and a serious wizard working together, was literally laugh-out-loud funny. Lydia Sherrer's ability to bring humorous situations to life is extraordinary, regardless of the paranormal story line. Each of the characters is believable and easy to relate to. 'Love, Lies and Hocus Pocus: Beginnings' truly does lay the foundation for an epic book series, which will be enjoyed by readers of all ages who enjoy a bit of mischievous mayhem, magic and humor in their bookshelf."
