FOREWORD
The Lion & His Man
-Alexander DiLaurentis-
My name is Alexander DiLaurentis, -A.D-
This is a pen name I had chosen as my official writer's name. I had grown fond of it, and I take it as my natural name ever since.
The Lion & His Man, is a personal work. This book is very close to me. It is that first word I typed after I decided that I wanted to write a story. It is that big leap into the land of the unknown when I laid that very first sentence to start the book. It feels like Alice in Wonderland a bit. Finding strange things, both curious and interesting.
Along the way, I met wonderful people and found treasures. I learned a lot, gained a lot. The most precious treasure that I had acquired is, my readers. I can still feel that thrill when my read counts ticks up to one, to two, to three. Until it ticks up to the tens of thousands, and still counting. I personally feel grateful for the chance, given the ability to reach out to people, and made them happy by reading my stories. Because that is what I've always wanted, to share the things that I love with others, so they too can feel that love and affection that I feel in me.
The story of the Policeman, Leon, and the Doctor, Aiden, is partly the kind of story that I love. I wanted to see how two people can build love and affection between them. How two people share their wholeness to the other. A relationship, for me, is when two people understands another, accept their entirety without judgement. Cherish them as they cherish you. Sappy much? yeah.
I wish every readers that reads my story, wholesome happiness in your hearts.
Thank You

Hi Alexander DiLaurentis,
I just finished reading your story The Lion & His Man and I loved it so much. Your writing is amazing, and I kept thinking how cool it would look as a comic.
I really loved the scene where Sergeant Leonardo first meets Doctor Aiden, likening the encounter to a lion gazing upon a beautiful stag. The imagery and tension in that moment would translate beautifully into a dynamic comic panel. Additionally, the evolving relationship between the two characters, with its blend of strength and vulnerability, offers rich material for visual storytelling.
I'm a commissioned artist, and I'd love to draw your story into a comic/manga. No pressure though, I just think your work would look awesome in comic form.
You can check out some of my recent work on my DeviantArt (Username - Ev3Verse). If you're interested, please message me on Discord (Username - bennett_lol) so we can bring the story to life visually. I'll be waiting to hear from you!
Regards,
Bennett.
