Or of me, for that matter. That's the key, actually. Life is too short and uncertain. You have to follow your dreams today. If you want to write, find a way. If you have a talent, explore it. Use it. Enjoy it."
From Philosophy to Gaming to Books
Lubar was born in 1954 in Morristown, New Jersey, and grew up in that same town, a "great place," as the author noted on his Web site. "I could walk into town and also walk to some nice parks." With his father in the Navy and his mother a librarian, Lubar, one of two sons, spent a lot of time in libraries as a kid, developing a love of books. Favorite reading for the young Lubar included everything from Walter Brooks's "Freddy the Pig" series to the science fiction of Robert Heinlein and Isaac Asimov to the humor of Robert Benchley and Bennett Cerf. Graduating from high school, he went to Rutgers University, where he earned a degree in philosophy and also played guitar in a bluegrass band. Then he moved straight from life as a philosophy major to life as a starving writer, according to the author on his Web site, collecting over 100 rejection slips before he sold anything.
