Press Kit
Operating under a pen name, Lydia Rae Townsend writes stories where the woods are never safe, the mirrors don’t tell the truth, and happy endings come at a price. Her fiction blends psychological thrills with dark fairytale bones, perfect for readers who like their stories sharp, strange, and just a little unhinged.
Her debut novel, Blood in the Wrong Shoes, is the first in a ten-book standalone series that explores the eerie, the twisted, and the beautifully unsettling.
She lives in Nashville, Tennessee, where she balances a love of music and sports with a deep appreciation for horror movies, ghost stories, and Halloween in all seasons. When she’s not writing, she’s probably overthinking a plot twist, rewatching a cult classic, or pretending that haunted houses count as cardio.
