More About Me

What, my little blurb on the front page wasn't enough to satisfy you?!

Okay, fair enough.

I'm Lucas. Been a writer and creative-minded person for all my life, starting back in elementary school. I was the goofy kid writing poetry and short stories in the back of class. I was also the weird kid in high school who carried around a fishing tackle box containing the pieces to an invented fantasy game-- a wild mix of a board game, role-playing game, and Magic: The Gathering. Yeah. That's more information than you asked for, right?

I decided I wanted to be a writer during college, when I switched my major from Geology to English with a Creative Writing emphasis. Fantasy, science fiction, and adventure have always been my written worlds of choice, and these days, I write practically everything with an LGBT edge. I am personally queer-- a trans bisexual guy to be exact-- but my queerness doesn't define me, nor does it define anyone within my works of fiction. It simply exists.

Besides being a fiction writer, I'm also the Lead Content Writer for a digital marketing agency that works with law firms all around the U.S.

I love gaming and consider myself to be a huge MMORPG fan. Besides MMOs, I also enjoy single-player RPGs, adventure games, and action RPGs. I'm part of a small team of indie game developers that's creating our first 8-bit RPG for the world to enjoy. It's called Mender's Strife and you can find out more about it here.

Writing and gaming are my two largest loves of my life, but I have a couple more-- reading and animals. My geeky love of fantasy and science fiction follows me here, too, and those are the genres I find myself lost in most often. Finding worlds to get lost in-- that's the point of awesome fiction. And that's my goal as a writer: to share my world, and showcase a journey that my readers enjoy getting lost in.

As for the animals? Have some pictures:
