Bio

Purely so I have somewhere to point people at when asked for a current bio:


Here I am at 60:


Mark Lawrence is the author of 19 novels spanning 6 and a bit trilogies. With the latest, Daughter of Crows, released in 2026. He has sold nearly 4 million books in over 25 languages.

He was born in Illinois to British parents. After gaining a PhD in mathematics at Imperial College London, he worked on a variety of research projects in the UK and the US including the ‘Star Wars’ missile defence programme. Mark is married, with four children, and now lives in Bristol, UK.

His books have been nominated for many awards and have won (among other things): two David Gemmell Legend Awards, multiple Stabby Awards, a Golden Stabby, and the Prix Libr’à Nous. They have also been frequent (10+) finalists/semi-finalists in the Goodreads Choice Awards.

His latest book, Daughter of Crows, hit the Sunday Times Bestseller list at #3 on release - the 5th of his books to feature on the list.
