Lawrence Dunning has published many novels and short stories during a long career of writing fiction. The novels include Neutron Two Is Critical, Fallout!, Keller’s Bomb, and Taking Liberty, which interested a Hollywood film agency after being reviewed in Publishers Weekly. He also has a new book of his collected short stories titled Rondo and Fugue for Two Pianos. He has published some 30 short stories in literary journals. The stories have won three Colorado Authors’ League awards, and two of his stories were named in the annual Best American Short Stories list of the 100 best stories. He has worked for the Dutch government, a petroleum publication, and the U.S. Department of Defense. He lives in Colorado.

“There is something about a Martini,
Ere the dining and dancing begin,
And to tell you the truth,
It is not the vermouth--
I think that perhaps it's the gin." --Ogden Nash”

“There was a man with tongue of wood who essayed to sing,
and in truth it was lamentable;
but there was one who heard the clip-clapper of this tongue of wood,
and knew what the man wished to sing,
and with that the singer was content.”
Stephen Crane
