Josh is a graphic media artist and novelist.

 A  science fiction fan since she was a wee babe, L.S. King cut her teeth  on Twilight Zone and Outer Limits.  She cosplayed before it had a name,  creating her own alien outfits back  when folks didn't even know what a  Trekkie was, and writing fanfic on  everything from Batman to Dark  Shadows to Star Trek to X-Men and Avengers.

As  a child, L.S. began studying the martial arts, eventually earning the   rank of master. Other items in her eclectic background are working in   an electronics store, as a journalist, a school bus driver, in a radio   station, as a gas pump jockey, and as a gymnastics coach. She also   homeschooled all four of her children.

When  on the planet, this mother and grandmother enjoys gardening, soap   making, reading, and online gaming. She also likes All Things Myst,   Middle-earth, Looney Tunes, the color purple, and is a Zorro aficionado,   which might explain her love of swords and cloaks.

L.S.  has worked as a submissions editor and a copy editor on several   magazines, authored a column for new writers, and was a founding editor   of the online magazine, Ray Gun Revival, now on hiatus.
She does local writing workshops and currently hosts a fiction writing support group on Discord.  

She has books published in two series:

The  first is the dangerous and sometimes humorous adventures of a space   gunslinger and cowboy from a pioneer planet in the space opera Deuces  Wild.  

The second are science  fiction tales with an epic fantasy feel in the The Sword's Edge  Chronicles. Also, a novel entitled Unlikely Prophet, which combines  dystopian and colonization elements.  

Her  short stories have been included in two anthologies of the best  short  stories and poetry from Double-Edged Publishing, and also in Inkd   Publishing's Hidden Villains. And various online magazines have  published her stories including Deep Magic, The Sword Review, Dragons,  Knights & Angels, Digital Dragon Magazine, and Residential Aliens.  The fact that several of the publications which have released her  stories are now defunct has nothing to do with her. Honest.
