L. D. Valencia has always loved storytelling. As the oldest of three, he grew up making up games and stories for his younger siblings to play out. Whether pretending to be superheores or Super Saiyans, everything was pretend and stories. As an adult, that hasn't gone away. But now it is Dungeons and Dragons and writing epic fantasy.
But writing novels wasn't something he planned to do. As a teacher, he was teaching his students about the story elements, when he wrote a short story to model the steps of writing.
When the class begged him to publish that story, he thought that might be a cool idea to have one book in his classroom that he wrote. Fast forward a decade and a half, and writing is his world.
These days, he lives in the Nashville with his lovely wife and their kids. As an educator, he hopes to inspire students to love reading and writing. His books are just the next step in that goal.
Education has always been his goal, reading is his passion, and writing is his dream.
