About this author

edit data

Luke Romyn has spent many years, over nineteen in fact, working in the security industry. From doorwork in some of Australia's roughest pubs and clubs to protecting Mickey Mouse and the Disney crew from the overzealous jaws of tenacious toddlers, Luke has worked throughout Australia and internationally in a vast array of roles.

He's done close protection for UK celebrities in Fiji and chased feral pigs and snakes out of the jungle film sets on Steven Spielberg's and Tom Hank's epic: The Pacific. There are few things Luke hasn't seen.

With all this experience behind him, it would be tempting to write a set of memoirs. Instead, Luke utilized it to fuel his own expansive imagination and began writing fiction. Initially starting with short storie...more

Luke Romyn liked M.G. Edwards's review of Beyond Hades (The Prometheus Wars, #1): " To call Luke Romyn’s “Beyond Hades” a thrill ride would be an understatement. His mashup of Greek mythology and science fiction took me to so many dimensions in such a hurry that the only metaphor I can come up with is riding a roller coaster. It’...

A belated thanks for choosing me to be among your friends, Luke. It may interest you that my book Marvin Clark—In Search of Freedom in now a matching FREE download on Amazon Kindle. It's neither mystery nor a thriller, but you might have a good laugh. Enjoy it while you can. (A little review on Amazon wouldn't hurt either!)
