About the Author

An overactive imagination and open-minded upbringing made for the perfect combination to create the author Styna Lane would eventually become. Raised to belie
ve originality and creativity were the keys to happiness, she was instilled with the knowledge that most of life's boundaries are far more fictional than the Fantasy books in which she secluded herself.

Having lived in six different states by the time she was nineteen, Styna is no stranger to the road. After spending the majority of her life chasing her dreams wherever they led her, she was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 2010, which confined her to her bed much of the time.

Following a small bout of self-loathing, Styna decided she would not let these new boundaries have control over her. She began to utilize her most prevalent childhood trait; her overactive imagination. Styna quickly found that writing the adventures she created in her mind provided her with a total escape from her physical confines. It may not be a coincidence that her debut novel, THE ENERGY ROOM, focuses on a girl who has tremendous powers, but is trapped in a place where she believes she has no control.

Styna hopes to bring awareness to Invisible Illnesses, as well as inspire those who may have thought they'd gone on their last adventure.

Special Thanks

First off, I need to thank my mom for always supporting my life goals. Even when they are whimsical, absurd, or downright crazy, she
never stops believing in me. She taught me how to never stop believing in myself.

I have to thank my grandparents for being some of the most wonderful
people on the planet. Even through pink hair, tattoos, and unemployment, they never gave up on me. I am so incredibly grateful to have them in my life.

I want to thank my amazing friends and family
, as well as my lovely Marshall, for being a bottomless pit of encouragement. You make my guts feel all mushy and gross, and I love each and every one of you.

I need to thank my dad for being an inspiration to continue reaching for my dreams. I love you, and miss
you, and I'm sure you're Raisin’ Hell in Heaven!

I also want to give a shout-out to all of my fellow Spoonies out there. Never lose hope!
