About the press
A small press with a wide shelf.
Lykken Publishing Co. is an independent press near Philadelphia, run by Mia Jensen. Lykke is Danish for happiness, and every book is something to share: a puzzle at the kitchen table, a story at bedtime, a mystery to solve together.
Our books are written under two pen names. M.R. Linden writes the large-print puzzle books, the read-alouds for ages 4 to 8 and Murder at Hotel Vinterlys. Edith Wilder writes puzzle mysteries for ages 8 to 12. Our authors check every fact by hand.
All Lykken titles are printed on demand and sold through Amazon.
