Lazaros Zigomanis

Lazaros Zigomanis wrote the YA novel Song of the Curlew, a story about dreams, coming of age, community, love, and racism. It has been described by best-selling Young Adult author George Ivanoff as “an extraordinary book.” His novella, The Shadow in the Wind, is a middle-grade coming-of-age story that explores grief through a child’s eyes.

His new YA novel, This, (MidnightSun Publishing 2023), tells the story of a 15-year-old dealing with burgeoning neurosis as he navigates social pressures, high school obligations, and his overbearing Greek parents.

Lazaros likes exploring important themes, such as mental health, identity, and finding one’s place in the world, through the filter of genre.
