Lawrence M. Schoen
 
 
Lawrence M. Schoen has been writing for a couple of decades. He has been nominated for the Campbell Award (2007), a Hugo for his short story “The Moment,” (2010) and five Nebulas (2013-2016). He has won the Cóyotl Award for Best Novel for BARSK: THE ELEPHANT'S GRAVEYARD (2016), and the Kevin O'Donnell Service to SFWA AWARD, also in 2016. His science fiction includes many light and humorous adventures of a space-faring stage hypnotist and his alien animal companion. He's also written two more serious novels comprising his Barsk series, and these takes a very different tone, exploring issues of intolerance and friendship, conspiracy and loyalty, determinism and free will, and generally redefining the continua between life and death.

Lawrence is on the SFWA Board of Directors. He runs a small press, Paper Golem. His doctorate is in cognitive psychology and he was a college professor for ten years before being seduced to the private sector where he worked for another seventeen. Back in June he left the Day Job to focus on being a full-time writer.

He is also a certified hypnotherapist and most of his work there is with authors and other creative types. Oh yeah, he is also the founder and director of the Klingon Language Institute, you know, the folks who restored HAMLET to its original language.r.
