If you would like to follow me for my art, I will now be posting my main art to my other blog

I’d honestly been meaning to make this change at some point but kept procrastinating on that until now seeing that I was getting followers here and went “uh oh” so oopsies on my dum bum fellas

So please please be sure to follow my other blog HERE instead if you are just here for the art! otherwise I’d feel bad if you’ll get confused/disappointed suddenly seeing only reblogs and shitposts here now lol

A while ago I was going to make one of these intro/aesthetic type of posts for Nuketown and I’ve had it sitting in my drafts for so long that I forgot all about it while working on the actual book!😂

TITLE: Nuketown

GENRE: Science Fiction (Space Opera, Atompunk)

SETTING: A futuristic, spacefaring version of The Cold War and the 1950s from the seemingly peaceful suburbia of Atom Valley to the war-torn battlefield of Jupiter’s moon Io.

INSPIRATIONS: Watchmen, The Outsiders

STORY: The United Earth Federation is in a not-so-silent war of attrition with the Republic of Martian Colonies, having brewed since the Second System War. But when an assassination attempt on Earth President Dexter Oppenheimer is thwarted by a group of youths led by Robinson Curry, a dangerous chain of events is set in motion that could spell the end of all life in the Solar System, whether from mutually assured destruction at the hand of nuclear armaments, or something even darker and deadlier.

STATUS CHECK: Published and available to buy on Amazon!

THE CHARACTERS:

Robinson Curry

A sensitive youngster, being raised by Smith and Kate Curry, alongside his headstrong sister, Marie. Together with Marie and their tinkerer best friend Kennedy Hudson, they intercept an assassination attempt on the Earth President, and end up hunted for their trouble. Through his journey on the run, his trio is taken into a pack of greasers, where he must learn to fight like he’s never fought before to survive.

Dr. Jones

A mad scientist under employment of the C.I.A., sent clean up the mess when the Earth President is attacked. Whimsically sadistic and criminally cruel, he will stop at nothing to preserve Earth’s political power.

Gossamer Jones

Dr. Jones’ supersoldier creation, with the strength of ten men, and the heart of a lamb. While out on their mission, Gossamer secretly seeks to break free from his father’s grip, and end the suffering he has been ordered to cause. 

Dexter Oppenheimer

The President of the United Earth Federation, with his V.P. Ford Hammond at his side. From the war with Mars, to the attempt on his life, President Oppenheimer is caught in a wicked weave of political trickery that threatens the lives of Earth’s citizens.

Introductions

Hello everyone! My name is Lucas Winters and this is my writeblr! Not sure how to use or even make a writeblr, but I think it would be nice to have!

I mainly write science fiction having to do with space travel, alien/artificial life, and superhuman abilities. I also write occasional fantasy and paranormal fiction. I even think there’s a few post-apocalypses lying around somewhere. And all of my stories tend to feature a large amount of queer romance as well!~

I’m a bisexual man, and I love video games in my spare time!

I’m also officially an author, having self published my debut book Nuketown!

I feel like I'm the only writer these days that doesn't know what my work's tropes are, or how to identify them...🥲

If you do, feel free to point out Nuketown's tropes to me!😅
