July 2014:
GMTA of North Carolina, USA have now published my latest historical novel:
SIX MILLION ACCUSERS: Catching Adolf Eichmann
(see above)
It is now available from amazon.com and Createspace.com both in print and in Kindle format.
This book is based on the true story how the Israeli Mossad tracked down this evil Nazi in Buenos Aires in 1960. Adolf Eichmann was one of the chief Nazis responsible for carrying out the "Final Solution to the Jewish Problem" during WW2. After his capture he was smuggled back to Jerusalem where he stood trial and paid the price for playing his major role in helping to organise the Holocaust.
*******************************************************************************************************************************
In the meanwhile, my two Tudor novels continue to sell well. As of today, (June 2nd 2014,) "ANNE OF CLEVES - HENRY'S LUCKIEST WIFE" has received OVER NINETY!!! mainly positive and unsolicited reviews on amazon.com and CATHERINE HOWARD: HENRY'S FIFTH FAILURE is beginning to collect some very favourable reviews as well (18 so far on amazon.com) since it first came out nearly two months ago.
For more details about both of these Tudor novels, see "Published Books" elsewhere on this site.
You are cordially invited to check out the site and buy these books (and help a poor lonely author scribbling away in his lofty garret!)
The easiest way to buy any of these books (or any other of my books on this site is to look up: D.Lawrence-Young on BOOKS on amazon.com (or co.uk or com.au).
In the meanwhile, I have finished writing the first draft of my next writing project - a novel about a young woman who dresses up as a soldier and takes part in the English Civil War - provisionally called: MARY NORTON - For King & Parliament.

Read my latest Shakespeare detective novel:
"Will the Real William Shakespeare Please Step Forward?"
Published by Vanguard Press/Pegasus Publishers. Also available from Amazon, B&N etc, in print or Kindle/ Nook
(ISBN: 9781843868491)
This is a detective novel about how four academics decide to solve the ever-current question: Did William Shakespeare, a young man from Stratford-upon-Avon, a small agricultural town one hundred miles away from London, really write the poems, plays and sonnets attributed to his name?
Could these great works have been written instead by a well-educated aristocrat who was too embarrassed to admit he was the author? Could these works have been written by a team of writers? Maybe some of them were even written by a woman! Perhaps his wife had a hand in them! Who knows?
You will if you read this detective novel and learn the truth to: Who really wrote William Shakespeare.
STOP PRESS!!!
