Goodreads Author


Genre

Influences
Toni Morrison, Jane Austen, J. R. R. Tolkien, Clifford D. Simak, Alice ...more

Member Since
April 2020


Writer of science fiction, fantasy, horror and contemporary fiction from Michigan.
I think a story should be entertaining, but should handle social and class issues in order to be an accurate portrayal of our world. I value honest resolution over shock-value, and happy endings wherever possible, especially for my LGBT characters. None of my books will ever use artificial intelligence, because AI is theft. You can find me on Instagram @ZoominLumen
Or follow me on Goodreads for announcements.

The Crocus Trilogy will continue in 2026 with Book Three: Heroine Death March.

And the Honoré Sloane series will continue in 2026 with: TWO SPARROWS FOR A PENNY.

Also coming in 2026: RED RIVER; a southern-gothic horror.

Upcoming Release

Book 2 in The Crocus Trilogy is coming on 12/31!
I said it would be out this year and I'm making it by the skin of my teeth because I had a HELL OF A YEAR. I worked 2 jobs until October, I bought a house, I went to Europe for 3 weeks, and I still got 3 books out. (I postponed Red River to write There's Something Wrong in Hugo Creek. Red River will be out next year.)
Anyway it's called The Gravedigg Read more of this blog post »

Some moderate abuses of the English language here, but it's a fun ride. I'll keep reading this series. (Only took me forever to finish because I started it, moved, went to Europe for 3 weeks and didn't want to carry it with me the whole way.) Lucien> ...more
