J.R.H. Lawless

Born in Newfoundland, Canada, raised in France, and come into his own as an author while living near a twelfth-century abbey in rural England, J. R. H. Lawless is an attorney by day and a speculative fiction writer by night, penning novels and short stories, mostly in the adult science fiction genre.

Lawless draws on his education and professional experience, including at Sciences Po Paris and the French National Assembly, to craft worlds that look ahead to the political, social, and economic challenges that face us all, both in the near and the more distant future, as humanity moves out into the Solar System and beyond. He also draws on his deep-grained love of Terry Pratchett and Douglas Adams to make sure his worlds are always full of tongue-in-cheek humor, and never take themselves quite too seriously, even when the subject matter itself could not be more serious.

Now living and writing in Atlantic Canada, Lawless looks forward to sharing his worlds with as many people as possible.
