Scott Lazenby

Scott Lazenby’s avocation is writing, but for forty years his day job was managing cities. He now teaches part time for Portland State University. He has a BA in physics from Reed College, an MS in public management & policy from Carnegie-Mellon University, and a PhD in public administration & policy from the Hatfield School of Government at Portland State.

Lazenby was born in Delhi, India, and has lived in Algiers, Geneva, Hong Kong, and Sydney. He and his wife Sandy divide their time between Portland, Oregon and Kelowna, British Columbia.

Writers are readers, and Lazenby's interests range from thrillers and mysteries to sci-fi. His role model as an author is the late Michael Crichton, who used a wide variety of settings and concepts (Jurassic Park, Disclosure, Rising Sun) as the foundation for good stories.
