Lawrence Block, one of the most prolific writers of his genre, continues to astound readers with his craft. Presented with countless honors, including the Edgar, Anthony, and Shamus awards, Block is undoubtedly seen as a master of mystery.
Block was born in Buffalo, New York on June 24, 1938. Although his stories now are primarily crime and mystery based, he started off his career writing erotic fiction under various pseudonyms, adding a fun dimension for collectors of his work. In 1957, Block’s first story published in his own name, "You Can't Lose," appeared Manhunt magazine. Block later included it in his anthology One Night Stands and Lost Weekends. From here, his career bloomed and has since published numerous novels and short stories.
