Lyda Morehouse

Lyda Morehouse writes about what gets most people in
trouble: religion and politics. Her first novel
Archangel Protocol, a cyberpunk hard-boiled
detective novel with a romantic twist, won the 2001 Shamus
for best paperback original (a mystery award given by the
Private Eye Writers of America), the Barnes & Noble Maiden
Voyage Award for best debut science fiction, and was
nominated for the Romantic Times Critic's Choice Award
(science fiction category). She followed up Archangel
Protocol with three more books in that "universe,"
Fallen Host (Roc, 2002), Messiah Node (Roc,
2003), and Apocalypse Array (Roc, 2004). Lyda lives
in the Saint Paul, Minnesota with her partner of nineteen
years and four cats.
