Welcome to the creative world of KL Caird. As a writer, lyricist, and creative at heart, she brings narratives to life across multiple mediums: from the suspenseful pages of the Lydia Rose stories to the atmospheric, collaborative music projects of Blackie's Wake.
Rooted in Eastern Ontario, her work captures the haunting, nostalgic, and deeply human moments that tie us to our past and each other.
KL Caird is the creator of the Lydia Rose story, Between The Walls. Born from nostalgia and mystery, this haunting tale follows Lydia Rose as she and her family move into a century home in rural Ontario, Canada. What starts off seeming like a haunting becomes an unexpected path to self-discovery. Tormented by the history caught between the walls, she fights to discover a hidden truth trying to claw its way to the surface.
Is it a haunting... or simply the past whispering to her? You decide.
Beyond the page, original songwriting takes on a new dimension under the collective banner of Blackie's Wake. This collaborative project pairs vivid, storytelling lyrics with immersive, genre-blending production. From the haunting Celtic & Goth-pop arrangements tied to Between The Walls to the raw emotion of Country, Latin, and Folk influences, it’s a project where rich narratives and deep musical soundscapes meet.
KL Caird is also the author of Garnet’s World, a cheerful picture-book series for children ages 4 to 7. Coming from a family of seven and helping with her younger siblings, she combines her roots with a love for entertaining children. This project reflects the genuine humor, resilience, and magic of early childhood. The stories capture everything from the chaos of school picture day to the small adventures found in the backyard, celebrating children's creativity and the pure fun of growing up.
