About Lira

Hi!

That’s me. I’ve been writing murder mysteries since I discovered “The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” in my grandfather’s library at the tender age of twelve.  Although my first stories were missing plot lines and character development, I have since learned to love the three act structure. Now, I’m a  card carrying Capricorn, so I actually studied Physics and Lasers instead of English Lit. However, I have recently realized the error of her ways, and decided to add an MFA in Creative Writing to my Masters Degree in Engineering.  I’m a proud child of the 80’s who used to fall asleep in the Harley Davidson sidecar my parents made from an old munitions shell.

My fiction is not only a melding of science and sensuality, but also infused with magic, mayhem, and rock’n’roll, baby.

I can usually be found writing while drinking copious amounts of tea with cream at the local cafe, or reading tarot cards for my friends.  I live in Los Angeles with my husband, Joey, and our four cats; Macs, Archie, Sherlock, and Morty. When I’m not writing, I’m building rockets. And when I remember that most sane people need a vacation, I finds a beach and stare at the ocean for as long as possible.
