About:

Colin J Lacy began writing short fiction and poetry when he was seven years old. Since winning his high school’s annual short-story contest in 2001, he has used writing to examine overlooked aspects of everyday life.

His writing combines subtle elements of science fiction, fantasy, and horror to weave social and political commentary. He takes inspiration from unlikely sources: from heavy metal music, to video games, to Japanese manga. As a lover of artistic expression, he has explored photography, graphic design, and woodworking, but always returns to writing as his primary art.

A self-taught software engineer, Colin spends his days as a tech lead for Cisco Systems, Inc. He enjoys boxing, skiing, reading, and experimenting with networking devices. He lives in Albany, NY with his wife, son, and four dogs.
