Lyndi Alexander dreamed for many years of being a spaceship captain, but settled instead for inspired excursions into fictional places with fascinating companions from her imagination that she likes to share with others. She has been a published writer for over thirty years, including seven years as a reporter and editor at a newspaper
in Homestead, Florida. Her list of publications is eclectic, from science
fiction to romance to horror, from tech reporting to television reviews.
Lyndi is married to an absent-minded computer geek. Together, they have a dozen computers, seven children and a full house in northwestern Pennsylvania.

Something was definitely screwy. Lane wondered how the laptop automatically brought up the map he’d wanted—without him touching the keyboard. That had been right out there. But an email from Max? How was that even possible? DSL in the woods? The elves didn’t even have electricity! Yet here it was. Granted, Astan said that fragile, [...]

Continuing our fascination with science fiction this week, and especially because my new hero is a green-skinned reptilian shapeshifter, the Clan Elves welcome author Bryce Ellicott! Take it away, Bryce! I have always found our collective fascination with “little green men” to be, well, fascinating. Not so much the “little” part, but the “green” part. [...]

Today’s news is a recommended review at GraveTells, a site which normally focuses more on paranormal romance, but as the reviewer says, ”Although Elf Queen is a Fantasy with Romantic elements rather than a Paranormal Romance, I believe it will appeal to readers who prefer less sexual tension in books, and it is entirely appropriate for [...]

Lyndi visits Paranormal Freebies today for an interview and discussion on the Clan Elves series, available at Dragonfly Publishing, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com and Smashwords, among others. Come by and leave a comment!
“The Elf Child, second in the Clan Elves of the Bitterroot Series, can be read as a stand-alone, but is probably a richer reading experience if read in sequence. Lyndi Alexander has created a very interesting story that occupies a rather unique niche in the fantasy genre; not exactly urban fantasy, but with hints of [...]
