Allen Lyle Author Event Sept. 19 at 6:30 pm
Allen Lyle released his debut science fiction novel, “Red Sun Rising” and is eager to connect with local readers through an in-person author event!
His mission is rooted in advocacy for independent bookstores and libraries, getting books into the hands of readers, and bringing reading back into everyday conversation, especially in the South. He’s deeply passionate about community, speculative fiction, and the role of storytelling in shaping culture.
At each tour stop, Allen is doing a giveaway that includes a $25 gift card to the host bookshop to a lucky winner AND we're going to match with a donation to a local charity in the host bookshop's name.
This will be more than just a book signing: expect a discussion, a Q&A with the audience, and a signing of Red Sun Rising. As a special treat, Allen will also offer tarot pulls from a custom deck he created to accompany the book, a beautiful artifact inspired by the lore and emotional core of his imagined universe. Whether you’re into immersive worldbuilding, morally complex heroes, queered archetypes, or epic sagas that bend genre expectations, this is a night for fans, writers, and dreamers alike.
Perfect for:
- Fans of Becky Chambers, N.K. Jemisin, and Tamsyn Muir
- Local RPG players, worldbuilders, and speculative fiction lovers
- Queer readers, writers, and creatives looking for community
- Anyone curious about storytelling that mixes myth, sci-fi, heart, and rebellion
