Stephen R. Lawhead

Stephen R. Lawhead

Stephen Ray Lawhead is an American writer known for novels, both fantasy and science fiction.

Beginning in 1981, Stephen Lawhead began to author novels, initially fantasy and
science fiction. Most of these had a slant towards the Christian beliefs he holds. He moved to Oxford, England in 1986 to do research for The Pendragon Cycle, a reinterpretation of the legend of King Arthur in a Celtic setting combined with elements of Atlantis. Following this work he became more interested in Celtic history and culture, especially Celtic Christianity. The Song of Albion Trilogy prompted a return to England, having left in 1987. This was a series of books set between the Celtic Otherworld and present-day Britain. In 1996 he published Byzantium, a work of pure historical fiction. Since then his work has moved more towards the historical, with The Celtic Crusades set at the time of the Crusades and Patrick which follows the historical life of Saint Patrick.
