Ancient Myth.
Edge-of-Your-Seat Suspense.
Award-winning historical suspense where buried secrets, forgotten legends, and ordinary people collide with extraordinary moments that still echo today.
—Every place has its legends.
—Every family has its secrets.
—Every generation inherits stories—some true, some twisted by time, and some hiding truths we’re still afraid to face.
That’s where my stories begin.
From Cold War Egypt to haunted Michigan forests, my novels blend real history, forgotten mythology, and relentless suspense with characters searching for justice, mercy, and hope.
If you love atmospheric historical fiction with mystery, myth, and just a touch of the uncanny…
You’re home.

Hi, I’m Janyre
Long before I became a novelist, I spent decades in publishing helping other writers tell their stories. But I’ve always been drawn to forgotten corners of history, old myths that refuse to disappear, and the ordinary people history almost forgot.
Those passions became the Threads of the Lost Myth series—stand-alone historical suspense novels where myth and history intertwine to reveal something deeply human.
When I’m not writing, you’ll usually find me reading obscure history books, wandering museums, fending off my adorable (if obnoxious) cats, photographing overlooked beauty, or convincing myself I only need one more research book.
