Dark, twisty thrillers. Sharp, funny fiction.
Occasionally both.

Project Domain

Science fiction thriller · 2022

Things have been strange in Garrett, Ontario. Things have been way stranger underneath it.

Scotty Waymore hears a Voice, and nobody in Garrett, Ontario believes him. Then the dead start walking around, and the truth comes up from below: a top-secret government project, captured aliens, and one that got away.

About me

Author S.L. Luck

I’m a Canadian writer with an MA in Novel Writing, a business degree, and more than twenty years in marketing and communications, which is to say I’ve spent a long time making other people’s words behave. Now I write my own: four supernatural and science fiction thrillers as S.L. Luck, plus short fiction with a satirical bite.

My next novel, To My Future Daughter, is a comic, epistolary novel of upmarket women’s fiction.
