L. S. Popovich is the author of THE ARDEN, which was a finalist for the Next Generation Indie Book Award 2022.
They are a cat person (a person who like cats, not a cat human hybrid).
Every house needs at least one room overflowing with books, they believe. (Other rooms should contain scattered piles.)
Their short works have appeared in Chrome Baby, Havok, Aphelion, Bull & Cross, Red Fez, Bewildering Stories, The Ansible, 365Tomorrows, Commuter Lit, Farther Stars than These and other secluded places.
Aside from writing, they enjoy long walks on short beaches, black coffee on the rocks, and level grinding. The IBM Model M and a HHKB Pro 2 are their weapons of choice.
As a registered bibliophile, talking books is always a singular pleasure.

Characters discuss video games with the seriousness of collectors, obsessors, theorizers. To truly get into a video game to the fullest extent, […]

I do occasionally sleep. And I send invitations whenever the notion strikes me. Not that everyone accepts. I think we can all learn something from one another.
