Lawton, Dan: - Dan Lawton is an award-winning thriller author from New Hampshire and an active member of the International Thriller Writers (ITW) Organization. He is a somewhat closeted rom-com movie lover and a huge Boston Celtics fan. An antsy person, he's horrible at relaxing, feeling like he should be working on something at all times. Lawton admits to being afraid of snakes, the ocean, and rodents. And if you ever need it, he can talk like Donald Duck.
