Today's Featured Biography
Laurence Shames
Laurence Shames is a writer who is gifted at combining humour with crime. Love, murder and madcap adventures blend to create a special style. He shuns violence. Key West, Florida is the setting for his seven novels. He has resided in Key West since 1989. This enables him to grasp a feel for the character of the setting for his novels. He won the Crime Writers of America Last Laugh Dagger Award for his 1995 novel Sunburn.
Laurence Shames first decided to take up writing as a career while in College. His inability to work well with others combined with a great sense of self-discipline helped his course. He gladly admits in never having an alternate plan of action to fall back on.
Shames says that he is not proud that he originally came from Newark, New Jersey. He feels more at home with his wife Marilyn in Key West, Florida. The more relaxed lifestyle and atmosphere of the Keys fit his temperament ideally. Humour with optimism comes through in his writing.
The books and writers he most loved had nothing to do with his writing style. He enjoys writers like Shakespeare, Dickens, Conrad and Dostoyevsky. Learning more basically than narration or prose styles. They taught him an admiration for storytelling and to maintain the highest writing standards. Charlie Chaplin showed him that comedy is the strongest medium for uncovering the human physe.
Laurence Shames wrote a column for Esquire magazine for many years and is the author of several books, including:
Florida Straights (1992)
Scavenger Reef (1994)
Sunburn (1995)
Tropical Depression (1996)
Virgin Heat (1997)
Mangrove Squeeze (1998)
Welcome to Paradise (1999)
Not Fade Away (2004)
Living Large (2006)
