nick-Leeland-300-125x125 Welcome to my world, a realm where the lines between fantasy and science fiction are not just blurred, but beautifully intertwined. I’m Leeland Artra, a storyteller at heart, a software engineer by profession, and a lifelong enthusiast of all things epic and imaginative.

My journey into writing began in the late 1970s, fueled by decades of running tabletop RPGs and a deep-seated love for crafting expansive universes. This passion culminated in the creation of the Golden Threads Trilogy, a series where epic fantasy meets speculative sci-fi, set in a timeline that stretches from our known Earth to the speculative end of the universe and then beyond.

But my storytelling doesn’t stop there. In the Endless Horizons Sagas, I explore a steampunk world, reimagining the life of Galileo Galilei in a setting that shares the histories, magics, and physics of my original trilogy. It’s a unique blend of reality and fantasy, where each story is a piece of a larger, interconnected narrative.

Currently, I’m venturing into the captivating realm of LitRPG with a series that, while distinct, weaves a common thread with all my other novels and stories. In this realm, those who ascend to become ‘Star Seekers’ are a rare breed, each marked by their extraordinary power and influence within the narrative. These Seekers embark on journeys filled with challenges and wonders, shaping the very fabric of the universe with their decisions and actions.

By day, I’m a software engineer and architect, a profession I’ve been dedicated to for nearly four decades. Writing stories and coding are not just my professions but my primary hobbies. They are the twin passions that drive my creativity and innovation.

I reside in the Emerald City, also known as Seattle, in the Great Pacific Northwest, with my wife and son. In my universes, magic is as real and rule-bound as physics. Supercomputers, conscious AIs, and shape-shifting super-intelligent dragons coexist with humans and mythical races. It’s a world where the fantastical is tangible, and every narrative is a gateway to extraordinary adventures.

Join me on a journey through worlds where imagination knows no bounds. Together, we’ll traverse realms where epic tales unfold, each story a vital strand in a grand, intricate tapestry. It’s a thrilling venture, rich with potential and adventure. As a reader, you’re invited to become a ‘Star Seeker’ – or ‘Seeker’ for short – and transform from a mere spectator to a pivotal player in a universe where every choice can shape destiny.

Your thoughts and insights are invaluable to this journey. If you have a question or comment, I’d love to hear from you! Connect with me and become a Star Seeker on this journey at https://ReamStories.com/lartra
