Felipe Adan Lerma

NEW: Titles in Kindle Unlimited. Author of the Samantha Lacroix thrillers: short stories, novels, serial novel. Fiction, photography, poetry. Family, mystery, and thriller fiction. Set in Austin Texas, Paris, and beautiful Vermont. Images and poetry from all three locations. ** As the oldest of six, a father of three, and a grandfather of five, and married over thirty years, I believe, in writing stories and poems, I've found a perfect outlet for my years of living. I have been writing and creating pictures since high school in the sixties, and began writing more seriously in the late 70s and early 80s. Slowly I developed a community of characters from tweens to parents to grandparents. Added a character originally from Vermont, Samantha Lacroix, and begun a more tightly focused set of stories best described as suspense thrillers. But if I had to give one word about most of my fiction and poetry, and even my images, it's relationships. The interactions of people, especially couples and among family, seem to have the strongest hold on me. That would also help explain why even in my poetry about teachers and nurses and others, it is the relationship aspect that usually is my focus. Sincerely, Felipe Adan Lerma * Formal bio: Born and raised in Texas, having also lived a short period in Vermont, his wife Sheila's home state, Adan brings a gentle infusion of yoga and fitness to bear on life long interests in writing, painting, dance, photography, and the arts in general.
