Jack Lawson

Author of Star Trek Genesis and the creator of the Worlds of Jack Lawson.

Jack Lawson has been a Star Trek fan for most of the last fifty years. He graduated with a Ph.D. in linguistics from the University of Washington, Seattle, in 1980, and taught linguistics, English as a second language and Spanish at California State University, Fresno. He retired in 2011 and began to study in preparation for writing Star Trek Genesis. The Worlds of Jack Lawson is a collection of science fiction and fantasy novels that he has written over the years. (It's a collection of disparate books rather than a series as such.) He lives in Fresno, California, with his wife, Maria. They have five children and thirteen grandchildren, enough to keep them busy even without writing and publishing.
