Anne Lyle, née dans le pays de Robin des Bois, a grandi fascinée par l'histoire anglaise, le folklore et les héros de cape et d'épée. Bien que des études raisonnables aient d'abord eu la priorité, sa passion pour Sherwood Forest a manifestement persisté. Elle consacre désormais ses heures d'éveil à la création de récits fantastiques, peuplés d'épéistes audacieux et d'espions calculateurs, se déroulant dans des passés imaginaires ou des mondes parallèles. Lyle aborde les critiques avec un œil avisé, réservant les éloges les plus sincères aux œuvres exceptionnelles.
