Like the plague, Gabriel Lucatero tends to go away and come back when your defenses are down. Within the realms of his website, he gathers and safeguards a multitude of articles, selecting words that will endure future generations. He aspires to make a livelihood in writing and sending readers into a new realm within their minds through his stories.

Wondering what this is? Well, it’s fiction designed to entertain. I now invite you to continue reading and explore his website to read his private memoirs from the beginning, exclusively on the website.

He was born in Michoacan, Mexico. Like many others, he was burdened by the harsh realities of poverty and craved a brighter life beyond the borders of his native country. Determined to leave this life behind and build a better future at 19, he journeyed to the United States in search of his American Dream; he aspires to become an author who writes in his second language. His passion for writing began as a child and was ignited by an unyielding fascination with the works of Stephen King, T.V. series such as The Twilight Zone, and other authors, shows, and movies that keep him on the edge of his seat.

As he immersed himself in the realm of fiction, his passion for storytelling found its home in the genres of horror and suspense. A distinct label he usually assigns to my narratives is “Transgressive Fiction” because, as the stories unfold, they revolve around characters who boldly defy society’s norms and the boundaries imposed upon them.

Despite his stories not reaching the desired level of success he wants, he remains dedicated to honing his craft and pursuing his American dream. Because the bills aren’t going to pay themselves, he has also held several jobs while pursuing his personal goals. He has been a janitor at a retail store, a cashier and manager at a fast-food joint, and even an Uber driver until someone vomited in my car, and he said, “F*** this sh*t!”

He hasn’t tried prostitution because nobody will pay to see him naked.

After realizing that he was getting old and would probably not make a living as a writer (sad but true), Gabriel opted to find a job more suited to his personality as an Insurance Agent; one can’t help but wonder how long he will last doing that.

Surprisingly, he has also been able to have a social life somehow. He is a member of Toastmasters and The Rotary Club. These groups allow him to get out of his cave and socialize with real people occasionally, which can prove daunting for an introvert trying hard to act like an extrovert.

To conclude, if you’re anything like him – a person who appreciates delving into stories that venture beyond what you’d share with your loved ones- you’ve found the perfect environment here.

Welcome to his world, friends.

P.S. – Email him; he enjoys hearing from readers like you.
