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 romances were written as Ren Benton.
