Lance Conrad is an unhinged eccentric who happens to write books. He wanders his native state of Utah, telling stories and imparting unsolicited writing advice to schoolchildren and those too polite to walk away. Doing so has gained him a profession, a letter from the Governor commending him for his efforts in education, three Best of State medals, and an imperceptible limp in his right leg.
Since 2014, he has published seven YA Fantasy books that some describe as “adequate” and “better than nothing, I suppose.”
When not writing books, practicing acupuncture, or explaining the presence of a machete in his car to the police, Lance has also managed to create a 220+ video series called Word of the Day with Lance Conrad that is used in classrooms across America and as far away as Australia.
He has also created a training course to teach up-and-coming authors how to sell books in person.
He lives in Utah with his wife, Erin, whose only flaw was poor taste in men, and their 3-5 children.
