I am Alyx Dellamonica (also sometimes known as L.X. Beckett), author of seven novels and over 50 short stories, poems, VR scenarios, and even one professionally produced play.

I have also at various times taught creative writing at UCLA and UTSC, as well as writing nonfiction articles about video games, SF books and media, and the environment, science, and futurism.

I make my home in Toronto Ontario, where I live with my wife, author Kelly Robson, and our cat Lorenzo Magnifico.
