Every great adventure begins with a story.

At Lantern Creek Books, we believe the best stories spark curiosity, stir the imagination, and leave readers eager for the next chapter.

We're husband-and-wife authors Michael and Sharon Dyer.

Sharon writes children's mysteries and heartwarming small-town romance sagas inspired by a lifelong love of reading, years as an elementary school teacher, and a passion for creating memorable characters and close-knit communities.

Michael writes frontier western sagas, modern mystery adventures, and other fiction inspired by a lifetime of exploring the places he knows best. From living in New Mexico and working on a ranch in southern Arizona to years as an award-winning landscape photographer, his experiences help bring each story to life.

Together, we enjoy traveling, hiking, photographing beautiful landscapes, and scuba diving throughout the Sea of Cortez, the Caribbean, and the South Pacific. The stories we tell are inspired by the adventures we've shared and the remarkable people and places we've encountered along the way.

We hope our books transport you to unforgettable places, introduce you to characters worth caring about, and leave you looking forward to your next adventure.

Thank you for visiting Lantern Creek Books. We're glad you're here.
