Stephen Lawhead

Born in Nebraska, USA, in 1950, he published many essays in the University of Chicago in the Campus Life Magazine. Finally, he moves to Great Britain, to Oxford where he still lives with her wife, the writer Alice Slaikeu and his children.

His love of the Celts and their culture makes him start writting fantasy volumes related with ancient myths and the Legend of King Arthur. There is where his Pendragon Cycle sees the light, and where he explores the Celtic Myths and legends of the Other World from the view of an Oxford student in The Song of Albion (La Canción de Albión) a cycle of three volumes and one of his best works, translated into more than 10 languages.

Stephen Lawhead has also written a historic novel: 'Bizantium' (Bizancio) the story of how the Irish monk Aidan (better known as St. Aidan) travels to Constantinopla in the IX century to give the emperor the Book of Kells.
