L.X. Beckett is a queer science fiction author, editor and poet who lives in Toronto, Ontario. 

Lex Beckett used to kick trolls out of a Star Trek chat room for the TV channel now known as SyFy. These days they write novels by day, while roaming the Internet at night in search of wayward manuscripts to thump into submission. Weapons include surprise, fear, a tremendous coffee addiction, profanity and the martyrfucking Oxford comma.
