As a writer of fantasy and sf, his work has been varied from the start, ranging from the somewhat overblown high Fantasy of his first sequence – the Lords of Dûs series beginning with The Lure of the Basilisk ( 1980) and ending with The Spell of the Black Dagger ( 1994) to the more sustained (and at points lighthearted) Legends of Ethshar, beginning with The Misenchanted Sword ( 1985) and ending with The Unwelcome Warlock: A Legend of Ethshar ( 2012). He has been moderately prolific as a short story writer, and "Why I Left Harry's All-Night Hamburgers" (July 1987 Asimov's) won a 1988 Hugo.
He has constructed several scripts for Marvel Comics.
Working name of US author Lawrence Watt Evans (1954- ), who began publishing sf in 1975 with "Paranoid Fantasy #1" for American Atheist as Evans, creating his current hyphenated surname in 1979 (at the request of Lester del Rey) to distinguish himself from another Lawrence Evans he has also written stores as by Walter Vance Awsten and Ties as by Nathan Archer (see Checklist).
