I’m originally from New York but now call North Carolina my home. I’m the bestselling author of more than thirty mystery and thriller novels including the Stephanie Chalice Mystery Series that has topped bestseller lists in the US, UK, and Australia.

In 2017 I penned BACK TO BROOKLYN, the studio-authorized sequel to the cult comedy classic “My Cousin Vinny.”

Early in my writing career I received direction from literary icon, Nelson DeMille, who edited portions of my early work. Well before DeMille said, “Lawrence Kelter is an exciting new novelist, who reminds me of an early Robert Ludlum,” he said, “Kid, your work needs editing, but that’s a hell of a lot better than not having talent. Keep it up!”

My novels are quickly paced and crammed full of twists, turns, and laughs.
