Hi, my name is Lucien Nyx. I first started writing "Love and the Exoskeleton during NaNoWriMo, or National Novel Writing Month, in 2014. The idea started in the form of having a fun story set in a wild west frontier style post apocalyptic setting, admittedly influenced heavily by Joss Whedon’s Firefly, but a creature very much its own. As the project grew it became a more direct investigation into the human psyche, as well as an good-natured adventure story. When I am not writing Space Operas, I specialize in other forms of pulp, ranging from fantasy to sci-fi and all stops between. I was influenced by the work of H.P. Lovecraft, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Robert E. Howard, Chuck Palahniuk, and David Wong. I feel that some of my voice borrows from these sources, yet stays distinct. I hope you enjoy the offering of "Love and the Exoskeleton".
