When Jeremy Lawrence won his first writing award in High School, it wasn't thanks to a glowing submission (he didn't enter one). So, he headed off to college with a poetry scholarship, but his real aspiration was a baseball career. He soon discovered he had a unique talent for programming computers, and so the baseball and writing would have to wait. Fast-forward twenty-five years, Lawrence is now the proud author of thousands of computer programs with his literary output limited to greeting cards and Facebook essays. In the end it was a family tragedy that convinced Lawrence life was too short to pass with his stories still inside him, and so he wrote his debut novel, Already Gone, a comedic murder mystery simmering with intrigue, and a dash of romance. A lifelong Eagles fan, Lawrence is currently working on the second book in the three book series, all inspired by some of his favourite songs (and yes, that is a band shirt in his headshot). When he isn't writing he can be found coaching girls' softball, boating and kayaking the pristine waters of the Florida Keys, and being a proud father to his two gorgeous daughters.
