The Construction Bang

Scott lives with his husband Mark in a little yellow bungalow with two pink flamingoes in Sacramento. He inhabits the space between the here and now and the what could be. Indoctrinated into fantasy and sci fi by his mother at the tender age of nine, he devoured her library. But as he grew up, he wondered where the people like him were.

He decided it was time to create the kinds of stories he couldn’t find at Waldenbooks. If there weren’t queer characters in his favorite genres, he would remake them to his own ends.

His friends say Scott’s brain works a little differently – he sees relationships between things that others miss, and gets more done in a day than most folks manage in a week. He seeks to transform traditional sci fi, fantasy, and contemporary worlds into something unexpected.

A Rainbow Award winning author, he runs Queer Sci Fi, QueeRomance Ink, and Other Worlds Ink with Mark, sites that bring queer people together to promote and celebrate fiction reflecting their own reality. Scott is is the committee chair for the Indie Authors Committee at the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America (SFWA).

T.C. Luther was born on the West Coast but relocated to a small farm in a rural community in the Midwest at an early age. Because there was minimal social contact on the farm, T.C. spent much time alone and developed the skill to conjure stories and artwork in his mind that, once put on paper or canvas, could be used for entertainment by many. As an adult, T.C. was drawn to academics, completed college with degrees in the creative arts, and focused his early career on art, architecture, and history. This desire for learning took T.C. from the Midwest to the South and New York City. After a stint in the Big Apple, T.C. returned to his origins on the West Coast, where he has found contentment and strives to live a life enriched with the beauty and creativity that his active mind creates for him and those around him.
