M. Lawrence wrote his first novella when he was 13 and living in the African bush. He quickly realized he was born to be a writer. In the meantime, he gained lots of life experience by working as an advertising salesman, a computer network administrator, and a bookstore clerk. Eventually, he moved to the Middle East to teach English, where he resides today. When he’s not hanging out in cafes talking in Arabic with his friends and playing cards, he writes short stories.
