Jen Lyon writes sapphic fiction that ranges from page-turning romantic suspense to heavier literary work. She broke out with The Senator’s Wife, a series that follows professional soccer player Alex Grey after she rescues a drowning woman who turns out to be married to a U.S. senator. The attraction between them pulls both women into unfamiliar territory, and the story continues across three sequels and a prequel novella.

Her standalone novel, The Unfinished Line, takes a different tone. It is a literary fiction story set in the worlds of elite sports and Hollywood, following two women whose lives collide in ways neither expected. The book includes content warnings for mental health struggles and references to past trauma. Lyon lives in Southern California with her wife, Donna, and their dogs and horses.
