Damien Benoit-Ledoux is an author and freelance editor. His mind is a magical and nerdy place where fantastic heroes defend amazing worlds from dangerous villains who run amuck in an epic struggle to take over the universe. Recently, the brightest and best from this colorful cast of characters have made their way into notes, plots, stories, and novels for you to read and enjoy.

Damien strongly believes the real world we live in should be a place where LGBTQ equality and respect are second nature and never questioned. When he's not working or spending time with his husband, their two beautiful sons, and their dog, Damien weaves this philosophy into the exciting lives of his characters and the fantastic space battles and romances they endure

My brain constantly comes up with new ideas, so I'm always writing down ideas and updating outlines. I find that outlines help me write the immediate scenes and lay out possibilities for future scenes and plot twists and changes. After a few days in a different world, I'm usually ready to return to where I had been stuck and keep going.(less)

Two things.
1) If you don't dream it, it won't happen. Dream big and see yourself as a successful author. That's your end goal. Now, start writing.

2) Your marketing plan should be this: Write the next book better than the one that came before it. It's that simple.(less)

Quotes by Damien Benoit-Ledoux  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“You can’t have a God of love who makes everything that is good, who wants you to be happy, wants you to live a fulfilled life, and at the same time, condemn you for the way in which you love—the very way he made you.”
Damien Benoit-Ledoux, Skyler Phoenix

“There’s a lot of good in religion, don’t get me wrong, but like anything else, when it’s mishandled or wielded as a weapon, no one wins. There’s no point to that kind of faith. Besides, love should always win.”
Damien Benoit-Ledoux, Skyler Phoenix

“Stop sinning—you mean stop being gay? That’s the thing, that’s where the whole biblical argument falls apart. You can’t have a God of love who makes everything that is good, who wants you to be happy, wants you to live a fulfilled life, and at the same time, condemn you for the way in which you love—the very way he made you. God made me gay, Cam, I did not choose this. He made me so I would love another man. And that is good because God is good and God only makes good things.”
Damien Benoit-Ledoux, Skyler Phoenix
