A note from Larry

Welcome to my site.

I am happy to report that I've been elected to the National Board of the Mystery Writers of America. It's exciting to serve as Treasurer with President Harlen Coben and Executive VP Harry Hunsicker. It promises to be a great year!

I have a short story, "Make Me Rich," in the acclaimed new anthology, WALL STREET NOIR from Akashic Press.

This is one of the best selling books in their excellent Noir Series. Edited by Peter Spiegelman, it contains stories by many terrific authors including Peter Blauner, Twist Phelan, Reed Farrel Coleman and Jim Fusilli.

 

LADYKILLER from Oceanview Publishing, a dark thriller that I wrote with my wife, Meredith Anthony, has gotten great reviews!

"LADYKILLER is a dark tale with an unsettling ending. On a one-to-ten darkenss scale, this thriller rates a high nine."
-- Mystery Scene

“Light and Anthony have put together a fast moving thriller that keeps the suspense building right to the end.” 
-- Jon Jordan, Crimespree Magazine

“The husband-and-wife team that wrote this thriller has constructed a tale that is eerie, with a twist at the end that blows the mind.” 
-- Theodore Feit, DorothyL 

“Ladykiller is superbly crafted with vivid detail that draws you into the story.  An astounding 5 stars!”
--  Terry South for Bookpleasures

LADYKILLER has been chosen one of the year's 10 best by the Editor of The Strand Mystery Magazine. It has been nominated for a Book of the Year Award by ForeWord Magazine.

 

FEAR & GREED was chosen by January Magazine as one of the Best Crime Fiction books of 2006!

 

"New York City is dominated by the world of finance, and Lawrence Light knows its testosterone-fueled machinations well. Once again, he brings its money-rules-all influence to bear in the second Karen Glick novel. Like its predecessor (Too Rich to Live, 2005), Fear & Greed is a fast-paced, riveting tour de force of money and politics."
-- Anthony Rainone, January Magazine

Best wishes,
