سيرة
Les Zig is a novelist, screenwriter, and speaker.
He has five published novels: Just Another Week in Suburbia (Pantera Press 2017), explores the questions of trust, fidelity, and how well you can ever truly know another person; while August Falling (Pantera Press 2018) is a story about unconditional acceptance, reclaiming the past, and finding a way forward; and Prudence (ECG Press 2023), which is an exploration of fidelity, temptation, and our darkest desires.
Under his YA moniker of "Lazaros Zigomanis" (the name under which he was baptized), he wrote Song of the Curlew (Pinion Press 2019), a story about dreams, coming of age, community, love, and racism. It has been described by best-selling Young Adult author George Ivanoff as 'an extraordinary book.'
His new YA novel, This, (MidnightSun Publishing 2023), tells the story of a 15-year-old dealing with burgeoning neurosis as he navigates social pressures, high school obligations, and his overbearing Greek parents.
Les is also the writer and director behind the half-hour satire mockumentary Little Diva Rising (2019), which met with great success on the independent festival circuit; and the web series The Abnorms (2020), a preternatural take on life in lock-down during the pandemic. He also wrote and directed the short action film, The Other Side of Paradise (2021).
A lifetime writer, Les has a love of storytelling, and has always wanted to tell stories.
