Her most recent novel Unjust Cause (a Tate Hallaway urban fantasy sequel to Precinct 13) was published by Wizard’s Tower Press in April of 2020. She has an upcoming short story in the Reinvented Detective anthology edited by Cat Rambo and Jennifer Brozek due out from Manor press in November of this year. Lyda is currently working on a novel she’s jokingly calling “Lesbians in SPAAAAACE,” contracted by Wizard’s Tower Press, and due out whenever Lyda gets her act together and finishes the damn thing.
