Dave Lawson

Dave Lawson is an Oklahoma-based fantasy novelist. He received an MFA in Fiction Writing from The New School in 2009 and published some contemporary literary fiction, before spending several years doing absolutely nothing with his degree. Now, he's returned to his first love--and what he enjoys reading--fantasy. His first fantasy novel, The Envoys of War, was published in October of 2024. He enjoys writing about conniving rakes and creative liars who do whatever they must to get what they desire. However, Dave's not like his characters. Pinky swear. 

When he's not writing, he teaches high school English and Drama. He lives with his wife and their dog, Rowena, who is a ball of energy. In a past life, Dave was surely a pirate.
