G. M. Lupo (ISNI: 0000 0005 0315 9196) is a native of Atlanta, Georgia where he has always had a dysfunctional relationship with his hometown. He currently resides in Houston County, near Perry, Georgia, not far from where his father’s family lived nearly two hundred years ago. He often finds inspiration during early morning walks (around 3 a.m.) near his home, and road trips to the historical sites in the surrounding area.
His most recent published work is the novel Worthy (2023), which is a continuation of the story begun in his novel, Rebecca, Too (2018). He has also published two collections of Atlanta Stories, which include Reconstruction (2020), and Fables of the New South (2017). Along with his full-length play Another Mother, these constitute his Expanded Universe of Fictional Atlanta, which bears an eerie similarity to his hometown, with some differences. He has also released a collection of essays, poetry, and stories entitled Words Words Words (2020). He is currently in the process of updating his sci-fi fantasy series The Long Timer Chronicles, which is currently out of print.
Most recent performances of his scripted work include: On a Wing and a Prayer, part of Tapas: In the Nick of Time at Academy Theatre (Hapeville, GA), June 2022; Romance, Take Two, in Tapas: The Bronze at Academy Theatre, August 2021; Opposites Detract, at Amplifest, Merely Players Presents (Doraville, GA), May 2019; and A Debt to Pay, which had its premiere at Tapas III, Academy Theatre, June 2018. Merely Players Presents also sponsored readings of his works in progress, Rebecca Too (July 2020), and Phoenix Rising: Christine (January 2021) via Zoom.
He was the winner of the 2017 Essential Theatre Play Writing Award for Another Mother which had its world premiere in his home neighborhood of West End in August 2017, in the building that once housed the library where he learned to read as a child.
He is a member of the Dramatists Guild, Atlanta Dramatists, and the Independent Book Publishers Association.

Dear Mr. Lupo
In your research on names carved into Stone Mountain, have you come across George Washington Lee? He was from “Gibraltar” (later renamed Stone Mountain) and his father Drewry was the first postmaster. George would later be the controversial Confederate Provost Marshal of Atlanta. I have written quite a bit on him. Any help is appreciated.
I haven’t run across him. Mainly I take pictures of any carvings I can find then try to look them up at Ancestry and other online sources. Some are easier to find than others. There’s a carving with a cluster of names carved around 1879 about halfway to the top, which I haven’t been able to match with anyone. However, I’ll keep an eye out for the name. Thanks!
