Obligatory Bio
Lena Brassard is a dozen pseudonyms in a trench coat, writing romance (fantasy, contemporary, and historical), urban fantasy, soulless commercial merch tie-ins, and memoirs for the niche-famous since 1996. She always draws the Ten of Swords. She often feels homesick but calls no place home. In all her spare time, she’s working on a guide for writers with aphantasia.
Her self-published contemporary romance was written as Ren Benton. Her traditionally published pseudonyms are in a secure location where her post-publisher curse can’t harm them.
Contact
I’d long been tired of spending the majority of my social media time weeding out bigots, bots, spammers, and friendlies who refuse to learn engagement rewards villains and was finally motivated to cut the cord. I don’t miss it and have no intention of going back, on any platform. For direct delivery of breaking news, options include blog RSS and the newsletter below.
Given the number of people who have nothing better to do with their time than run scams, it must be said that anyone claiming to be me or affiliated with me via social media or contact form is a liar and should be blocked, reported, publicly shamed, etc. If I initiate contact for writerly purposes, it will come from the above email address only.

Tip Jar
If you wish to contribute to my ISBN, editing, or flour budget, are suffering from pirate’s remorse, or simply feel I don’t charge enough for my books, you may act upon those feelings via PayPal or Ko-Fi. (The former has the Ren Benton pseudonym attached; the latter Lena Brassard—they both end up in the same pocket.)
