Welcome to the newly designed official website for Senna Byrd! Everything that was available on the old website is available here, but with one exception. As posts are no longer done in a blog fashion, there is no more option to subscribe to latest posts through e-mail.Because of this change, this page will only be updated with the latest major announcements. If you would still like small monthly updates and announcements sent to your inbox, please consider joining me on Patreon. They're free to read, and you can create an account and follow without spending a single dollar. Following will guarantee that you'll get the latest posts sent to your inbox. (Or at least, that you'll get a notification on Patreon that there's a new post, depending on your settings.)In the meantime, please keep an eye on this space, as my latest project will be announced very soon!

About

Senna Byrd was born in Wisconsin, United States in 1990. Her love of high fantasy and storytelling began at a young age, stirring her to pen several short, messy manuscripts for fun until the significance of her passion dawned on her as a teen. When she’s not writing, Senna can often be found reading fantasy stories, drawing, playing old computer and video games, and fawning over most things elven. She serialized her first novel — LORD OF THE NIGHT REALM: SOJOURN — in 2021.
