Writing

Chiron Review published Lucero's "The Living Party" in 1992[4] and he was widely published in the small press world over the next decade.[5] He published less over the following years but continued to write.[6] Editor and archivist Geof Huth has called his work "Incomparable." He has three titles due out in 2015: dear little missy, The Clown and The Living Party.

Lucero has written several screenplays including The Clown and an adaptation of Richard Brautigan's, A Confederate General from Big Sur, for Benicio Del Toro.
