Ever wondered what would happen if your hometown was suddenly surrounded by prehistoric beasts? Or if Earth itself transformed into a video game overnight? These are the imaginative worlds author Tyler Lenz brings to life in his gripping science fiction adventures.
Tyler's journey as a storyteller defies conventional wisdom. Beginning his writing career around age 30, he transformed his background in technical writing into a passion for crafting page-turning adventures that readers can't put down. What started as a challenge after reading self-published works he believed he could surpass has evolved into multiple successful series and a three-book publishing deal.
The Texas Accelerated series draws inspiration from a fascinating piece of forgotten history, a billion-dollar particle accelerator project abandoned in Waxahachie, Texas during the 1990s. Tyler brilliantly reimagines this real-world location as the catalyst for transporting a small Texas town into a world where saber-toothed tigers and woolly mammoths roam just beyond the city limits. The blend of small-town characters facing extraordinary circumstances creates a uniquely Texan post-apocalyptic adventure that's both thrilling and accessible.
For his upcoming Lit RPG series "Non-Player Character," Tyler ventures into a genre that's exploding in popularity while remaining largely unknown to mainstream readers. By simplifying the complex statistical elements that often define Lit RPG, he's created an entry point for curious readers to experience this fascinating blend of video game mechanics and traditional storytelling. His approach to writing across genres remains consistent—focused on entertainment above all else.
What sets Tyler apart is his dedication to creating stories that serve as true escapes. "I just want you to have a good time," he explains, highlighting his commitment to crafting roller-coaster reading experiences rather than vehicles for personal politics or heavy-handed messaging. This reader-first philosophy shines through in his accessible writing style, fast-paced plotting, and engaging dialogue.
Ready to explore prehistoric Texas or a world where Earth becomes the ultimate game? Dive into Tyler Lenz's imaginative universes today, and keep an eye out for his Moonquill/Podium Publishing debut coming in 2026!
