Ray Lawrence

Hallo Folks,

My name is Ray Lawrence.

I am long-ago retired and spend most of my time writing in various formats – plays and sketches and monologues for the stage (find me at Lazybee.co.uk and Scriptsforstage), comic verse, short stories and (recently) detective novels.

I was, in the now dim and distant past, a Chartered Secretary with a multi-national engineering group, based in London and Europe; in 2002 my wife, Kath, and I moved out of the smoke to a little village on the edge of the Peak District (at the edge of Sheffield, South Yorkshire - that's in England!), called Dore, where we lead a life of great fun and (alas) very little debauchery. Here I spend my time writing silly verses for my Facebook page, sketches, comic verse and short plays and performing them to local groups.

Kath and I have two very talented daughters and two equally talented and we hope to be very successful granddaughters.

In spite of the pandemic, we look to the future with great optimism. It is a wonderful world to live in! I send Good Wishes to all those who are brave enough to read my stuff and wish you all well for the future!
