Geoff Lawson left school at fifteen to become an all-round handy guy. His hobbies taught him other skills, such as vintage car and house restoring and a fascination for the historical. Along the way he acquired the 'good wife,' lovely daughters (and grandchildren too) and walked his way through the 101 things that mark a life well lived. His first serious foray into writing came with the restoration of an iconic antique artillery gun that resulted in his book 'Our Gun.' "I started to create a booklet that in six years had evolved into a full length book." This has now been followed by his first novel, "Forgiven."
