David Lucero served in the US Army as a paratrooper, studies history, and closely follows current events that shape our world. He was inspired to become a writer after watching the movie classic, Lawrence of Arabia. “I thought how amazing it must be to write about your experiences and have them published,” he says.” Then I thought how amazing it would be to write fiction stories for people to enjoy. I was 14 years old then and now 30 years later I’ve published my first book, The Sandman. Lucero’s book is a contestant for best fiction thriller, adventure, mystery and suspense in the USA 2009 Book News Awards. He was inspired to write this story when he learned of the threat Iran poses as it pursues its nuclear program. Lucero lives in San Diego, California.
