Liam James Leaven

Liam James Leaven is the author of the comedic novel ON THE ORIGIN’S OF JOY BOY’S CHASM. Hailed by Bookshop Santa Cruz as “an infectious romp guaranteed to entertain” and praised for its keen insight and its zany, (mis)adventurous, and wholly entertaining plot, ON THE ORIGIN’S OF JOY BOY’S CHASM has been providing readers with laugh-out-loud moments for over a decade.

Midwest Book Review noted that his parody children's book, written for the adult in your life who is holding onto the last threads of their sanity, "should be required reading for all parents worldwide," and San Francisco Book Review called it, "parenting humor at its best."

His acclaimed HUGE WORDS BY HUGE PEOPLE, called a “top-shelf laughter elixir,” has developed a devoted fanbase, resonating with readers of all ages, and will be followed up in 2025 with HUGE WORDS BY HUGE PEOPLE: BIGGER THAN YESTERDAY. 

Liam's comedic mash-up short, FRANKENSTEIN, OR THE MODERN WASHINGTONIAN, takes readers on an unforgettable romp through the Nevada deserts.
