#1 Best Selling author Sam Lucas (Learn to Play the Ukulele Super Fast) is a talented individual whose bohemian approach to the arts makes him a singular fellow with an idiosyncratic and fanciful imagination; you might even say he is a welcome curiosity amongst the mundane and prosaic.   Launching a Comedy Sci-Fi Adventure Series for 2022, Lucas introduces us to a hapless duo called Dmitry and Yuri, caught up in a web of conspiracies that they are not equipped to deal with - it's just all too convoluted for the minds of simple cosmonauts.

As Lucas puts all of his grey matter to work and scribbles down words found in the English and EgÁsian dictionaries, he produces a series that could unravel the very structure of society and start a world war, or at least, a mild skirmish between neighbouring factions.    Set in an alternate reality, Lucas' new series ventures into the cosmos and manoeuvres seamlessly between the furtive and the farcical aspects of life and glides over the unanswerable questions we all want to avoid, but it's all just for a laugh!

For the last 30 years, Lucas has worked in the Highlands of Scotland at an undisclosed government installation that studies the secrets of  Lost Civilisations,  Forbidden Archaeology and other classified curiosities.  His work has taken him all over the flat Earth and into the restricted chambers of the world's illuminati and even into the gutters and unliftable manhole covers where the less desirable lurk.  

Now, retired from a life of espionage and eavesdropping,  Lucas spends his days writing  comedy science fiction and creating marvellous musical masterpieces on an Alesis Q49 keyboard and a battered 1910 Salvador Ibáñez ukulele.

In his spare time, Lucas collects Eight Track tapes, sewing machines and military memorabilia.  For fun, he dances the Rumba and posts rare and valuable stamps to his friends and family; deeming them worthless.   Seldom seen in public, Lucas hides in the shadows and has the ability to become invisible when behind a tall, potted, Swiss Cheese plant.  If  you ever do get the opportunity to see Lucas in the wilds, offer him chocolate liqueurs and sunflowers to appeal to his warmer side and avoid conversations about etymology and rare moths.

If you've ever doubted your sanity and pondered on 'What's it all for?' and 'Why does it have to end?', perhaps taking the tiniest sip of the Kool-Aid that Lucas has to offer will help soothe your gripe and awaken the joy of life and the laughter within!

N.B.  Lucas is prone to exaggeration and may embellish facts, but there is always a hint of  truth hidden within the embroidery.    Look out for his new album - 'Ukulele Starships', a compilation of amusing and irrelevant songs you simply can't live without.
