Who is Luke Loaghan?

 Luke Loaghan’s first novel, “Worlds Apart” was published in May of 2010. Although he majored in English Lit (a long time ago), Luke had given up on writing for the past 16 years. He spent ten years in corporate America, and has been an entreprenuer for eight years.

When Luke Loaghan attended his twenty year high school reunion, he  realized that many people were still obssessed with high school, even two decades after graduating. “Some people never get over high school.”
Boiling over with ideas, Luke started writing again. It was a long process with multiple rewrites and many plot changes. Two years later, Worlds Apart was completed.

But what is Worlds Apart about? “Its really about regret and indecisions about high school. For some people, the decisions they make don’t make in their senior year stays with them for their entire life. The characters and the supernatural ending summarizes how friendships and how people go their separate ways after high school.”

Luke’s favorite Greek myth is the story of Orpheus and Eurydice (included)  but readers will find another greek myth retold as a substory.
