What they’re saying

“Filled with humor, likable characters, strong female friendships, a sweet romance, and women challenging themselves to discover what they’re made of, it’s kept me smiling from the get-go. I don’t know how many books Hyder has planned for this series but I’ll be buying them all.” —The Romance Dish

“I loved this book so much, I just went online and found our local roller derby team. There’s a bout this weekend, and my friends and I are going!”

“Counted myself as one of your hardcore Soul Summoner fans then out of nothing better to do started Lights Out Lucy. Now I count myself as someone that recognizes a wonderful writer. Thank you for sharing your stories with the rest of us.”

“Lights Out Lucy is a spectacular book!”

“I stayed up all night reading Lights out Lucy. Great story. I laughed and cried. And did some deep thinking about my own goals and life choices.”

“I Loved Lights Out Lucy! It brought back great memories of watching Roller Derby with my Grandma! I laughed along with Lucy (ok at ) and screamed, which caused many heads to turn in my direction as I was reading in public!! It’s great and I can’t wait for the next book!!”

“I am now a huge fan of Roller Derby thanks to Lights Out Lucy! Such a great read and perfect flow… Being a lot like Lucy, I fell in love with her immediately.”


Bestselling author Elicia Hyder played women’s flat track roller derby with the Nashville Rollergirls under the skater name, eL’s Bells. After a black eye, a broken finger, a severely pulled groin, and two knee injuries, Elicia hung up her skates to focus on a safer hobby—writing. She has fictionalized her experience in the Music City Rollers series.

Elicia still lives in Music City with her superhero husband, five (loud) children, and two co-dependent dogs.
