Luis A. Mendez was once told by his grandmother to sit down and write down all the ideas he had going through his head, and although that's a dangerous proposition for some, and it took a while for him to listen to her advice, he eventually started doing just that. He's written fiction via short stories published both in an anthology of shorts and online through Medium, and is currently working on a novel. A big believer in happy endings, his style of storytelling tends to focus on putting everyday people into fantastical and supernatural situations. He's also written non-fiction pieces covering film criticism and U.S and UK psephology on other different platforms as well. In these non-fiction writings, he uses his his love of film, and his enthusiasm of studying public opinion and electoral trends, to deliver a straight to the point article that won't put the reader (or at least that's the plan) to sleep. At the end of the year, he releases a list of his "Best In Cinema", highlighting his choices for the 15 best new films from the year that he saw. In his spare time he keeps up a blog page on this website regarding his personal psephology projects. Other than writing fiction or non-fiction, critiquing films, and studying psephology, Luis is also a big fan of theme parks, wrestling shows, and roots for the Bucs, Rays, Heat, and Bolts sports teams.
