Lawrence Jay Switzer

Lawrence Jay Switzer, author of Sayville Tales and Beacon City Confidential is also--when wearing a different hat--the designer of The Walt Whitman Series, and several biographies of world-renowned courtesans. He has been interviewed by both Long Shot Books and Author Voices. He won First Prize in the first writer's contest held by Let's Get Published in 2019.

The future, as it appears to the author from the safety of his observation post in the here-and-now, is a Grassy Knoll where anyone can say anything has happened, and where the line separating truth and fiction is--at best--fading at the same speed with which it is being drawn. His "novel" of travelers' tales, Sayville Tales, is part of that oncoming fact-disputed future, endeavoring to depict the irregular shapes and sizes of modern-day Americans with the same cutting perception employed by Geoffrey Chaucer when he created his fellow Englishmen for The Canterbury Tales.
