Mariah Lynde

Born in Fayetteville, NC Mariah Lynde found her passion for the world of fantasy in book at an early age. Spending many days with her nose buried in some written text rather than going out to play, it fostered her love of the written word. In the end it is a love that has paid off. A participant in the National Novel Writing Month for three years, In November of 2012 She wrote her first 50,000 word Novel. That Book, Dark Fury, would later become the first full novel of the Vengeance of Avalon series. While still in revision and editing, Mariah published several short stories in a smaller work called Timepiece. Those five 1,000 word short stories were only a portent of what was to come. While editing the first Novel of the Vengeance of Avalon series, Mariah wrote and created a Novella to set the scene for the coming book series. Darkness Falls is an intricate look at the characters who begin to shape the universe of her embodiment of Avalon. Soon after, the Zompacalypse series began with the book Contingency, but still, there were issues to be worked out. Now over a decade later, the cycle begins again, as the industry she began in, has changed. The initial books remain available, but knowing the need for help, editing, typesetting and the like, a new idea to rewrite those universes formed. Now, she writes from a different perspective, releasing books for any idea she may have. In 2024, she has started the release of these new projects on several platforms. A military wife and mother of one, Mariah writes from her home in the northern Sandhills region of North Carolina when she is not working a full time job in the service industry. She is a former paramedic and an avid fan of Australian Shepherds.
