Fantasy, time travel and alternative history are his favorite genres, especially when intertwined with real-life characters, modern day events, romance, humor, and mythology. Readers will find the Ceres Series true to this form. Writing is a major component of Dr. Scariano’s profession, however, writing fiction provides him not only escape, but entertainment. “Putting a story on paper for me is like watching a favorite movie or TV show…words flow from mind to paper, becoming scenes and images, bringing three dimensional characters to life before my eyes. The best part is instead of waiting a week or year for the next installment, all I have to do is pick up my pen.”
The story of Ceres began several years back as tales Lawrence, his son Justin, and daughter Gabrielle would tell each other on their drives back and forth to school. Soon thereafter, the children were writing their stories down as a fun, but educational activity. The concept was simple; pick out a modern day, historical or mythical figure, learn everything about that figure, and write him, her, or it into the tale. While not always obvious, readers will recognize characters such as the outlaw Ned Kelly, Merlin, Alice (in Wonderland), Amelia Earhart, and others woven throughout our books.
Probably as influential to Lawrence’s writing as his favorite books, which include The Lord of the Rings, Stranger in a Strange Land, and Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, is his wife Leslie. Though not a contributing writer, her influence is reflected in the strong female characters portrayed in the current Ceres installment as well as those “in the works”. Dr. Scariano believes this is one reason why Ceres has such appeal to so many people regardless of age, sex, or race.показать меньше
