Gifts for the Gamer and Movie Enthusiast
Lawrence has for us a variety of gift ideas for podcasters, movie lovers, and coffee drinkers! I mean, you can never have enough coffee mugs, am I right?
Blue Yeti Microphone
Shop: Music Shops & Major Retailers
Incredible value for anyone looking to up their recording game. Works with both computer and phone (with the right adapter). I bought one when I was starting to toy with the idea of starting a podcast and I absolutely love the sound quality and variable options it offers. I love that I can fit it in my backpack and take it with me wherever. It’s great for recording Tik Toks/Instagram reels,
and I plan on using it to record narration for my own audio books.
Merry Maids by Stefanie Contreras
Shop: Amazon & Barnes & Noble
Merry Maids is an amazing book series by an incredible author! It’s an incredible sci-fi epic with a Latina lead by
a Latina author. It has incredible prose, characters, and awesome action! If you love action and adventure you HAVE to read it. This would make an ideal gift for the high school-aged reader and above.
Control for PS5 & Xbox One
Shop: Major Retailers
Control is an insane game that inspired a lot of what I have been writing recently. It is an amazing blend of storytelling and gameplay. Control is a cosmic sci-fi horror game about a woman looking her
brother. She tracks him down to the Bureau of Control which has been infiltrated by a dark
eldritch entity. She is tasked with running the Bureau, saving her brother, and protecting the world from this darkness. If you’d like to know the kind of writer I am, know that this game has inspired my writing more than any other.
Temperature Control Smart Mug
Shop: Amazon and Major Retailers
Okay I haven’t tried this product out but my hatred of cold tea or coffee has given me a might need! What more is needed? It’s a mug that maintains the temperature of your coffee. No more
cold coffee!!!
Alien Coffee Mug
Shop: Amazon & Major Retailers
Anyone who knows me knows how much I love coffee and all things Alien. It’s my favorite movie of all time. It’s one of the reasons I write science fiction, and horror. My first novel is heavily inspired by it. Why not rep this love while drinking the beverage I drink more than any other?
About Lawrence J West
To call Lawrence J West call a nerd or a geek would be an understatement. He grew up on horror, science fiction, and fantasy stories. He was exposed to them early (his mother read him Stephen King’s IT when was 5) and this exposure has influenced every aspect of his life. He enjoys video games (primarily RPG’s), anime, manga, reading, LARPing, and so much more. He has even begun collecting and playing Warhammer 40k.
Many of these passions are things he shares with his partners, and is working to pass them along to his son too. Lawrence is also very active in both the LGBTQIA+ and Polyamory communities in his local area.
Lawrence is the author of the upcoming novella Breached. You can find all his socials on his Link in Bio.
