BIOGRAPHY

Laurence Buxton was born in Worcester, England in July 1974, and lives currently in Stratford-Upon-Avon. Growing up, his interests were always artistic and creative, but it was upon moving to Stratford in 2000 that he began to look seriously into the prospect of becoming a successful author.

In the late Summer of 2004, when toying with the idea of being a writer, he became a member of the Bird Of Prey Theatre Company, which had performed a large number of theatrical productions ranging from historical to musical. The subsequent experiences of his involvement in one such event – both comic and dramatic - have been recounted in a diary, named “Christmas With Cromwell”. The play was written and directed by the founder of the group, Steve Newman.

And on top of that, he has written a thriller/adventure, the first in a planned series, called, “The Idol”, which sees a young girl from North Wales – Danielle Thomas - inadvertently stumble across a village with a dark legacy, and the life-threatening consequences of her becoming involved in it. This is something Laurence is determined to make into a series, and “The Idol” will see only the first in a series of adventures starring the vulnerable but ultimately brave Dani.

Furthermore, he has contributed to a number of online magazines, including “Keep It Coming”, and his article on David Bowie, “Cracked Actor”, was initially released on the Vancouver-based “The Boards” ( published and edited by Ian Alexander Martin ).

Laurence’s interests include the theatre, cinema, public houses, eating out and socialising.
