Kevin Lucia

I'm just a guy who loves to write and create my own little worlds to run around and play in. In my opinion, it would be the greatest job in the world to create stories for a living, and I continue daily to develop my craft, hopefully to produce things folks will enjoy reading. I have no idea what my ultimate fate as a writer will be, but right now I'm pretty content to scribble away and mumble to myself in my "Bat Cave" office in the rear of our house.

I write book reviews for The Press Sun Bulletin - which I get a total kick out of, because it melds my two favorite pass-times: reading and writing. I still can't believe those nice folks decided to pay me to do that! (Shhh! Don't tell them!)

I'm currently attending Binghamton University, chasing after my MA in Creative Writing. It's possible that through my education there, I might learn how not to be a hack, but it's not likely.

Do I have a sense of humor? Sure do, but it's odd. For example, I find cartoons about birds called "Tweeters" absolutely hilarious, especially those written by good friend and former college basketball teammate, (the second leg of our tri-captain trio - the third is MIA somewhere in corporate America), artist and English teacher, Andy Slocum. If that's not funny enough for ya, check out Craig VS. Wild. I'm pretty sure I went to high school with Craig, honestly.

"The Way Station" - Winner of the Editor's Choice Award in 2007 Coach's Midnight Diner

Kevin Lucia's "Way Station" is a smartly worded story of a writer unable to repeat the success of his first novel. In a handful of pages Lucia creates a paranormal thriller worthy of Rod Serling's THE TWILIGHT ZONE. Larry Shallenberger, author of Divine Intention
