Lasheckia Lyons

Lasheckia Natasha Lyons is an innovative author known for creative storytelling from unique perspectives. Also a budding entrepreneur, she is the proud owner of a new startup, Episodic Literature LLC -- an independent publishing house that brings elements of TV streaming into literature. She is also a true pioneer of Urban SciFi, giving those from all walks of life an opportunity to be represented in such a creative genre.

From Memphis, TN by way of Flint, MI, Lasheckia has taken on many roles throughout her life. She had been a mother figure to children in need, a great support for friends and family, and a leader in her many chosen career paths, and in her local community.

Trauma has also been abundant in Lasheckia's life. She is a survivor of sexual and domestic abuse; she persevered in an environment of poverty, drugs, and violence; and she has risen above the disadvantage of growing up in a single parent household, which often has a large, negative impact on life success rates. Using these trials of life, Lasheckia brings the true urban experience to the world of genres like SciFi and Fantasy.

Lasheckia is also a "prison wife". Many lose faith in those who have allowed themselves to make life altering decisions that ultimately lead them to incarceration. They begin to see those individuals as worth less than themselves, and in many cases as less than human. She understands that we all make, have made, and will continue to make bad decisions, and everyone deserves a chance to change. Her fiance plays a large role in her writing and business ventures; acting as a co-author, accountant, researcher, and an overall support. This is not only vital to her success, but to his rehabilitation ahead of release.

Ultimately, Lasheckia is a rare talent and an inspiration to those from similar walks of life. She believes in innovation and hard work, and greatly appreciates the support of all who offer it.
