Born and raised in North Carolina, Lorenzo is an aspiring young author and a dedicated writer. Lorenzo is currently a senior at East Carolina University and majors in both English and Religion. He is the eldest brother of several siblings.

During High School, Lorenzo began rough concepts of what would become Desert Rain, however the modern version would not begin until the summer preceding his junior year of college. The story was completed after a year and a half and soon entered the revision process.

Parts of Desert Rain were derived from the life and experiences of the author from his youth to his early adulthood. Major literary inspirations for Desert Rain were the Harry Potter series, Eragon and the Inheritance Cycle, the Maximum Ride series, The Hunger Games series, and The Chronicles of Narnia. Another source of influence for the novel was eastern media such as anime and manga. These different media inspired Lorenzo to create Desert Rain and make it into what it is today.

His hobbies include walks, swimming, free writing and time spent with friends and family. His personal belief is in working for one’s dreams and the determination to see them through.
