Anthony “Doug” Lawrence was a scholarship athlete at the University of Maryland and three-year letterman on the football team. He graduated with a Bachelor of Arts Degree and worked as an Investigator in the District of Columbia implementing, mentoring and leading respective internship programs.
Lawrence co-founded True Colors, an education program for middle school and high school students with a focus on career pathways and college readiness. The trendsetting three-dimensions of learning system using classroom instruction, influencers and field trips has students motivated to participate in the program with three goals to Inform, Inspire, and Improve.
Lawrence launched his writing career in 1999, releasing his first novelette The Ring of Betrayal, then When Tomorrow Comes, in 2002. In 2005, his novel, I No Longer Play the Game, which is his signature work of fiction, was also published by the Beckham House Publishing Group.
Lawrence captivates with a fresh outlook inspired by maturity, with his latest fiction The Big Race to encourage a new generation to read.
