About D. R. Lowrey

D. R. Lowrey, a non-award-winning, critically-untainted author of comedic fiction, writes from the humid furnace of Houston, Texas, often while not wearing a shirt.

It wasn’t always like this. For years, D. R. clung tenaciously to a shirt-wearing job that paid real money in exchange for his soul. When that job went kaput, D. R. investigated the possibilities of a career in the hardware retail business, or, alternatively, writing fine literature. Fine literature, as it turns out, is hard to write. Harder even than selling door hinges. Having acquired such wisdom, D. R. took to writing stuff more aligned with his true personality – uncultured, absurd, insubstantial. He now foists these works upon the reading public.

Some refer to his books as a “beach read.” D. R. disagrees. He feels that if you require a beach to read a book, your time is better spent wading amongst the sharks and stingrays. He suggests reading in the comfort of your own living room, preferably on furniture suitable for napping, while siphoning a favorite beverage. Experience shows that after repeated siphonings, his books do indeed start to resemble fine literature . . . what with the words, punctuation, and all.

D. R. enjoys thoughtful, non-violent interaction with his readers. He views such discourse as an ongoing referendum on whether to write or sell latex paint.
