About

Leo Jerez is a Puerto Rican/Dominican Afro-Latino writer and director of software engineering who helps build complex systems by day and impossible worlds by night. A lifelong nerd, he’s equally at home over a chessboard, deep in a video game, or DMing a D&D role-playing night. Leo writes short stories and flash fiction while working on his debut urban fantasy series, crafting relatable characters who face improbable odds in extraordinary worlds. His work explores found family, heroism, and emotional connection through immersive, sensory-rich prose. He’s also a devoted husband to his high-school sweetheart and a proud dad to a rambunctious mini-me. Give Leo a follow and connect on TikTok.
