Writing to express our shared humanity.
A.L. Doyle lives in Texas with her husband, their daughter, and their dog. From a young age, she enjoyed escaping into her imagination to find worlds of magic and adventure.
She writes poetry and fantasy stories that are a little dark but tinged with stubborn hope. Her goal is to create worlds full of magic and intrigue that help people feel seen, understood, and develop empathy for the beautiful souls that inhabit our world.

Lenora wants nothing more than to be left alone. After her visions lead to the death of her best friend, she is exiled and retreats to a secluded cottage. She escapes her guilt and grief by constructing creatures to tend to the cottage grounds.
Julian wants nothing more than to regain his noble title that was stripped from him and the wealth and status his father lost. When the perfect opportunity arises, he seizes it, but his carefully laid plan collapses. To avoid capture, he flees his pursuers by riding into the threat of the Hartwell blight.
Both outcasts in their own ways, their lives become entwined when Julian attempts to steal from his savior, Lenora. He is hexed and magically trapped, forced to remain at her cottage against both of their wills. Together, the two work to solve the mysterious layers of the Hartwell blight and prevent Lenora’s prophetic vision of Julian’s death from becoming reality.
Come share the journey with me — poetry, fantasy worlds in progress, and the beautiful mess of writing life.
