Born and raised in the periphery of Lamka, Lian Dousel writes fiction inspired mostly by his background, the folktales, and the history of his town and culture. While the desire to write for a readership larger than his small circle of friends and family came later in life, he has not looked back since. With two short stories published in Out of Print Magazine and Mavelinadu Collective respectively, and a master’s degree in Literary Art, he continues to explore this avenue with a short story collection and a debut novel in the works.
