Michael J Lawrence

Biography

Brought up on a literary diet of Alistair MacLean, Clive Cussler, Ian Fleming and similar writers of the nineteen sixties and seventies - Michael has been a wannabe writer since he was old enough to read. But with more than forty years of career and parenthood getting in the way it is only now that his first dynamite novel The Aphrodite Conspiracy gets to see the light of day.

Michael has written this story to be easily savoured by anyone wanting to escape from everyday life into a rip-roaring thriller. As an accomplished Divemaster and owner of one of the fastest production motorcycles on the face of the earth, Michael is no stranger to the world that he writes about. Set in Cyprus and the UK, The Aphrodite Conspiracy is not a story written purely from imagination...

Graham Rye, The Editor & Publisher of 007 Magazine describes The Aphrodite Conspiracy:
“Mike Lawrence’s premiere novel moves along at a cracking breakneck pace, a real exciting page-turner that puts recent James Bond novels to shame.”

Michael lives in Dorset, on England's stunning south coast.

    Got absolutely no work done that afternoon as I opened the first page and the story just kept me engaged until I finished it. Tally ho chaps, bandits at twelve o'clock. A ripping yarn!
