Understand the audience
Compare current Australian and Canadian reader evidence, genre neighbours, format habits and community signals without inventing a global stereotype.
The author mission
Build a long catalogue and the world around it.
The Desire Atlas supports Luke's work across speculative near-future fiction, science-fiction romance and romantasy. It brings the practical questions into one public place: who may read the books, where those people gather, which events matter, what market evidence says, how many sales a goal implies, which channels carry each format and what changes for each country edition.
Global group marriage, emerging intelligence, Love United Nations and joyful responsible abundance are part of the worldview driving the books. This atlas connects those ideas to audience, community, publishing and country reach.

The books are the centre
Market intelligence serves the imagination.
The Atlas is not a generic publishing dashboard. It is built around a particular catalogue: adventurous adult love stories crossing near-future technology, travel, chosen family, business, spirituality, civic imagination and abundance.
Near-future love
Science-fiction romance and romantasy where emerging intelligence changes how people meet, communicate, build homes and imagine family.
Global connection
Stories moving across cultures and countries, supported by real communities, gatherings and country-specific publishing knowledge.
Future institutions
Global group marriage, Love United Nations, protopian democracy and joyful responsible abundance as creative territories spanning personal belief, future projection and fiction.
“A safe, fun, hedged area for love, light and joyful responsible abundance.”
