Hello, I'm Lawrence
James, preferably called Laz. My wife and I are
partners and owners of Amber Swann Publishing Inc.
and all of the material you may find to read has
been created by us, unless it is otherwise noted. We
came together about two years ago, simply because -
the things we expressed interest in, were spot on.
It was truly surprising to her, and I - how much two
people could have in common coming from opposite
sides of the Atlantic. She's originally from
America, and I'm from England. We have now made our
home here in England where we unite in our office to
continue in our writing ventures. I shared with her
my desire to write, and a dream to have someone to
write with, a partner with whom I could spark ideas
off of and receive feedback in return. As you have
read, I've received much more than I bargained for,
and believe me... there is no man more grateful than
I for the magic that springs from us when we come
together to spin a tale.
Together we have worked
on, The Beauty of Man & Woman. That too will resume
once we have completed our Webster Fields Trilogy.
Princess Ces'alena is out in paperback and e-book.
So far, we've received nothing buy rave reviews.
Presently, we are working away on Gold Raven, in
which the light at the end of the tunnel is shinning
through to us brightly. So beware readers...it will
be out soon to e-book.
Writing is not the only
thing that interest me, I also love to sing. My wife
happens to be, not only in love with me... but my
voice as well. It is a project of mine to eventually
record and place some sound samples of some of my
favorite songs I love to sing to her, believe me, my
voice was one of the things that helped me to reel
this lady in. So with constant encouragement from
her, I will eventually give you all a taste of what
she praises so readily. Some other things about me
that is highly important are my children. Most all
are adults, save the youngest who is just 15 going
on 30. There's five of them from 27 to my 15 year
old. Lee, Arron, Ellie, France and the baby, Lauren.
Lee, my oldest has also blessed me with a grandson,
Brandon who is 4 years old now.
Besides my family, my
writing, my singing, I'm also an avid movie buff,
some of my favorites are Spencer Tracy, James
Stewart, Jack Nicolson, and James Cagney. In the
comedy arena, no one did it better than Laurel &
Hardy, Abbot & Castello, Dean Martin & Jerry Lewis.
My wife agrees. A favorite late night past-time
after a heavy day of writing, is to lay back and
snuggle watching an old black and white. I may have
been born and bread in England, but I still say, no
one does movies like America. I have every intention
of visiting there one day. Basically... I am a man
with an eclectic range of interests and talents.
Poetry, animation, and helping my wife out of a
writers block. She says in that, she is truly
blessed. Where once she was stuck on a scene,
sometimes for days - now with me, there is no such
thing as writers block. We make up a true catalyst
for writing.
What's next? Many more
novels. Between us, we are throwing around the idea
for audio books, yes...that too. Scripts, skits and
radio shows. All brought to you by yours truly. My
wife and I. I'm Lawrence James, and you know my
wife... Mercedes Keyes... bookmark us or save us to
favorites... because there is much more to come.
