Member Since
November 2016


I was born on the island of Cyprus where my dad was employed as a mining engineer. We moved to the Philippines (more mining) when I was three and then to Arizona when I was 9. I went to med school at the University of Arizona and did a residency in Orthopaedics at the University of Kansas. I taught Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill until I retired in 2017.

I've always loved science fiction and it's been great fun getting to write some. I also like music and have a little home recording studio. You can read more, listen to some music and look at some of my art, at http://laury.dahners.com/ if you like.

If you want to contact me, or be put on my email list to be notified when new books come out, just email

Starting a blog.

Hi, I'm Laurence (goes by Laury) Dahners and I write science fiction. I've mostly published on Amazon since I love the Kindle. A lot of readers communicated with me and other readers on the Amazon Author's Forums, but those don't seem to be getting much support any more and there have been a lot of complaints.

So I thought I'd start a blog here on GoodReads as well as responding to "Ask the Author Read more of this blog post »

Quotes by Laurence E. Dahners  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“There’re new people, and new places, and different ways of doing things. You don’t know where to find anything. It’s frightening. So, here’s my bit of wisdom. Act calm. Not only will others think you know what you’re doing when you act calm, but you’ll also start to feel calm. When you’re sad, make yourself smile and your sadness will be less. When you’re frightened, pretend you’re brave and the fear will be less provoking.”
Laurence Dahners, A Pause in Space-Time

“fell apart after the first three holes?” Milo looked a little glazed. “After the third hole, we had to wait a while for the foursome ahead of us and she asked me to ‘explain the scorecard.’” Exasperatedly Denise said, “Explain the scorecard! She’s four under par after three holes, and she’s”
Laurence E. Dahners, Impact!

“to the agency, Phillips described how Donsaii had distracted”
