I'm an author of short, spicy romances featuring alpha heroes and curvy women. Subscribe to my newsletter.

Author of dark epic fantasy in the making. Writing stories of ancient magic, holy orders, corruption, and dynastic collapse. Join my reader list for early excerpts, first reveals, and the road to publication of my debut dark epic fantasy. If you love dark, atmospheric fantasy with sacred fracture, buried history, and worlds under strain, this is where I’ll share it first.

Clean cozy romance and romantic suspense with faith-forward themes. Comfort reads for readers who love heart, hope, and a great escape. Written by a mom of three creating stories during nap time.

N.J. Lysk (pronouns: whatever) is a queer one—in almost every sense of the word—for whom stories have always been their one true home. She studied linguistics and literature (which is to say, someone offered him a genuine excuse to read professionally) and ended up teaching, but writing is their one true love. Addicted to angst, enamoured of mpreg and always ready to try a new kink (in a book, that’s it!) she became hooked into the omegaverse through fanfic (but he doesn’t have the patience to write other people’s characters) and has recently expanded from werewolves to hockey players. If your heart veers towards the dark, look for the N.Y. Lysk instead.
