Author
The Tragedy at Cambria, a three-act play written in rhyming iambic pentameter, tells a story of love, deception, and power. In the medieval kingdom of Cambria, aging King John faces a grave decision. His forebearers created extremely strict laws regarding unwed pregnancy, and now a sixteen-year-old girl, Plain Jane, is guilty of being with child. Either Jane or the baby must die.

This is a lovely, witty play. I particularly enjoyed several unexpected twists in the story!
I read Tragedy at Cambria on the recommendation of a friend, taking a break from my usual detective mysteries and military histories. (There was an omen: the first ever use of armor was during World War One at Cambrai.) I stumbled onto a well written play with a powerful twisty plotline. Lyon's wordsmithing, turn of phrase, and word selection are superb. The dialog flows and kept me thoroughly engaged. The characters were alive in print, and I hope that they will see the stage.

“I have written works in a variety of genres, but the two stories currently available to the public are a play titled The Tragedy at Cambria and a coming-of-age novel called The Adventures of Miss Becky McCoy.”
