  M. Laszlo

  M. Laszlo is the pseudonym of a reclusive author living in Bath, Ohio. According to rumor, he based the pen name on the name of the Paul Henreid character in Casablanca, Victor Laszlo.
  M. Laszlo has lived and worked all over the world, and he has kept exhaustive journals and idea books corresponding to each location and post.
  It is said that the maniacal habit began in childhood during summer vacations—when his family began renting out Robert Lowell’s family home in Castine, Maine.
  The habit continued in 1985 when, as an adolescent, he spent the summer in London, England. In recent years, he revisited that journal/idea book and based his first work, The Phantom Glare of Day, on the characters, topics, and themes contained within the youthful

  D.C.R. Bond

  Thank you for visiting my Goodreads Author bio and taking an interest in my work, I really appreciate it:
  
  So, a little bit about me! I was born in London, but grew up Jamaica, then Zambia, and dimensions of this international upbringing feature in my writing. As a child I was encouraged to write and wanted to nurture an early talent and become a journalist.

  My novels are women's fiction. they are written to entertain you. My writing style is light-hearted, visual, fast-paced, and e
