When asked about the relationship between his writings and his role as minister he explains:

As a New Thought minister, I affirm the positive nature of God and the inherent friendliness of the universe. Heaven and hell only exist as we humans imagine them. As an author of urban fantasy, I reaffirm this same notion. Evil only exists as a reflection of our beliefs and the choices we make. When we think positively and make better choices, we experience a better life.

Lawrence King is a fourth-generation Oregonian. As a kid, he watched science fiction movies every Saturday morning and was chased out of the adult-horror section of the library weekly. He always has a stack of inspirational books (including science fiction and horror) on his bedside table along with his gratitude journal. He, his partner, and two dogs live in Portland, Oregon, when they’re not at the beach.
