Kyra Halland has always loved fantasy, and she's always loved a good love story. She could never find novels that combine these two in the way she craved, so she decided to write her own tales filled with magic, adventure, unforgettable characters, and romance that matters. Her books are set in unique magical worlds so vivid you'll feel like you're there, where hope shines through hardship, and where honorable heroes and smart heroines face impossible odds while falling in love and working together to save their world - and each other.
What are Kyra's books about?
“The way I see it, a life with nothing in it worth dying for ain’t a life that’s worth living.” - Mages’ Uprising Kyra loves romantic fantasy because love is a powerful motivation, and showing characters in love, in a developing or even a committed relationship, shows sides of them that otherwise might not come through in the struggle to save the world or whatever the fantasy story is about. Showing the loving and romantic side makes the characters more well-rounded and more sympathetic, and raises the stakes in the story. Saving the world is one thing; saving it for the people you love - spouse, sweetheart, children, family members, friends - makes it a lot more personal. Kyra also enjoys exploring how the development of the relationship and the fantasy quest or task or whatever the characters are doing affect each other - in her novels, the two are closely intertwined, and also how the couple deals with the challenges they face together. It's also interesting to see the couple work together to achieve their goals - even if, or especially if, they have different ideas about how to go about it! Oh, and, wizards in love. What's not to love about wizards in love? For Kyra, the two greatest joys of writing are bringing these characters who live in her head to life and telling their stories, and when a reader writes to her and tells her how much they enjoyed her story. If she can touch someone's life with her books, whether it's by giving them a few hours of relaxation and enjoyment or helping them through a difficult time, that's an incredible feeling. Kyra lives with her husband in the beautiful desert of southern Arizona, which has served as inspiration for many of the settings in her books. She loves fantasy books with a healthy dose of romance, spy movies, classic 90s anime, epic symphonic metal, and chocolate. She's a mom, grandma, and devoted cat servant. Frequently Asked Questions |
