About the Author
Benjamin P. Lecuona
In the bustling years of college, where the pages of novels became pathways to other worlds, Benjamin P Lecuona discovered the profound comfort of storytelling. Fueled by a passion for whisking readers away to new realms, he embarked on a journey to become a writer.
Balancing a full-time job, Benjamin weaves narratives during precious moments of free time, considering writing both a therapeutic escape and a creative odyssey. Drawn to novels and fiction, his literary palate is seasoned with the works of Gabriel Garcia Marques, Armistead Maupin, Virginia Woolf, and Suzanne Collins.
The storytelling venture took a delightful turn when Benjamin and his partner welcomed a rescue cat into their lives. This feline muse became the protagonist in a bilingual children’s series, narrating whimsical adventures set against the vibrant backdrop of San Francisco in both English and Spanish.
In tandem, Benjamin delves into the realms of fantasy with a work in progress. A tale of self-discovery and magic, this narrative unfolds in a land inspired by the video games that have long captivated his imagination. The essence of adventure and the beauty of a simpler life are interwoven in this fantastical creation.
The heart of Benjamin’s writing lies in championing acceptance and love, particularly exploring relationships within the LGBTQ+ spectrum. In both the bilingual children’s series and the fantasy epic, he seeks to dissolve distinctions, aiming for a seamless reader experience regardless of the characters’ backgrounds.
With an unwavering hope that readers will embrace the worlds crafted in his books, Benjamin aspires for the bilingual series to inspire second language acquisition and the fantasy novel to instill a love for adventurous storytelling.
