Lichen Craig has been writing all her life. From the age of 21, she began to be paid for it. She earned degrees in classical literature, writing and journalism, and since then writing has been a part of her identity. For many years she wrote non-fiction - everything from wildlife to politics to interviews with local celebrities. In early 2012 she wrote her first novel . . . in 21 days. It was published that spring, and despite its rather controversial subject matter, it met with an enthusiastic reception from readers. Gentlemen's Game is a literary novel that explores male bisexuality and relationship violence. Subsequently, Lichen's short stories gained popularity as Quandary was published online at Wilde Oats literary journal; in 2013 her story Frozen appeared in the book Out in Colorado, a collection of Colorado-based stories with gay themes.
