About Auden

Auden Llyr is the pen name for a real person. Like all good storytellers, she believes in the transformative power of a good book, and its ability to positively impact the world of humans.

Growing up in the company of the Blue Ridge Mountains reading fairytales and folklore, exploring the wild alchemy of nature, her writing is firmly steeped in the intrinsic magic of fellow beings and old souls. Observant creatures have found her communing with a tattered paperback in a comfy chair in the corner of a used bookstore, or trailing fingers over book spines in a library. Add a cup of coffee or tea, and you’ll confirm its Auden when you hear her practically purring in contentment.

When bookstores are closed and she isn’t writing, Auden is oft assessing the mischief of her pet dragon, while her human self does the same for her 2 boys; they have been found to have similar destructive capabilities.
