R.G. Luchmun

About

R.G. Luchmun writes science fiction about how we remain our most human — across oceans, across time, and across the stars. With a background in cultural anthropology and a career in education research, she brings an ethnographer's eye to first contact, time travel, and the quiet wonder of being human.

R.G. Luchmun lives somewhere in the American Southwest with a toddler, a spouse who is endlessly supportive, and a growing suspicion that the universe is far weirder than physics alone can explain.

The World

The Outer Accord

Something ancient connects every conscious civilization in the universe, a vast, invisible network known as the Filament. When Earth finally tunes in, they find the table already set: maps left by travelers who came before, alliances already drawn, and a hierarchy humanity is still making sense of. Navigating this network is the work of the Outer Accord, the part-military, part-scientific organization uniting the nations of Earth in exploration and contact.

Currently Working On

On a vessel charting the Outer Filament, a xenoanthropologist falls in love with her closed-off captain while unknowingly changing the fate of an alien species — and when an enemy uses that secret to take her apart from the inside, the question becomes whether the woman she was can be rebuilt, and why the mysterious Numinous have taken an interest in her.
