# 1 AMAZON BESTSELLING AUTHOR & RESEARCHER,

Paranormal Studies

Thrillers & Supernatural Suspense

L. Sydney Fisher developed a love of reading during her childhood years and spent many of her summer vacations at the local library. This love affair with reading and her insatiable desire for knowledge launched a curiosity into the supernatural and unexplained that spawned the birth of L. Sydney Fisher, the writer.  She wrote her first novella by the age of fifteen. Her creative pursuits continued in high school where she was active in theatre and dance and was awarded the Best Lead Actress Award during her senior year. 

She first entered college as a Theatre/Journalism major but later changed her course of study. At the age of eighteen, Sydney was stricken with a chronic illness and life circumstances that forced her to change her pursuit of the stage, but her love of writing never faded. Today, she’s the author of more than a dozen bestselling books and writes as a freelance professional. She’s written for organizations such as Holland America Cruise Line, The Start-Up Magazine, Finish Line Athletics, Nike, Fabletics, and The Social Media Monthly among many others.


Her family's roots are deep in Middle Tennessee and Northeast Mississippi, but she also spent time as a child in the Missouri boot hills. She was born to Landon and Nettie Jean in Memphis, Tennessee where her father was an accountant and her mother was a registered nurse.  At the age of four, she moved from the Missouri boot hills to North Mississippi after her parents separated.  Years later, she earned a Bachelor of English from The University of Mississippi and a Master's in Higher/Adult Education from The University of Missouri.  

Sydney lived for many years on a HAUNTED landscape with the spirit of a white wolf and at least one ghost that shared what was once a Native American village in Northeast Mississippi. She currently resides near Nashville, Tennessee in the heart of one of America’s most haunted cities. When she isn’t writing, she’s researching supernatural mysteries or another haunted location and its history.  She is the proud mom of two adult children, a Golden Aussie named Willie Wonka, and a black cat named Coco Chanel.
