Stephen was born in 1950, in Nebraska in the USA. Most of his early life was spent in America where he earned a university degree in Fine Arts and attended theological college for two years. His first professional writing was done at Campus Life magazine in Chicago, where he was an editor and staff writer. During his five years at Campus Life he wrote hundreds of articles and several non-fiction books.
After a brief foray into the music business—as president of his own record company—he began full-time freelance writing in 1981. He moved to England in order to research Celtic legend and history. His first novel, In the Hall of the Dragon King, became the first in a series of three books (The Dragon King Trilogy) and was followed by the two-volume Empyrion saga, Dream Thief and then the Pendragon Cycle, now in five volumes: Taliesin, Merlin, Arthur, Pendragon, and Grail. This was followed by the award-winning Song of Albion series which consists of The Paradise War, The Silver Hand, and The Endless Knot.
He has written nine children's books, many of them originally offered to his two sons, Drake and Ross. He is married to Alice Slaikeu Lawhead, also a writer, with whom he has collaborated on some books and articles. They make their home in Oxford, England.
Stephen's non-fiction, fiction and children's titles have been published in twenty-one foreign languages. All of his novels have remained continuously in print in the United States and Britain since they were first published. He has won numereous industry awards for his novels and children's books, and in 2003 was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters by the University of Nebraska.

Dad read this aloud to us on Christmas (it was on of his gifts). It was cute tale made fantastic by my dad's accents. What a wonderful Christmas memory.

Such a charming and delightful little adventure which I read with my 4yr old. Whilst he enjoyed the beginning and the ending, the suspense at the end of each chapter was a little unsettling for him.
Nevertheless, I'm pleased we persevered as it enabled us to discuss themes like love, friendship and hope together.

A sequel as wholesome and as easy to read as its predecessor.

Writing this review upon second reading - November 2021. This time I read it to my youngest, Arthur, age six. We enjoyed every minute of it. As I knew we would. He’s only disappointed that there’s not a third Brown Ears book. I’m sad that I don’t have a better Scottish accent for reading the fishermen’s lines! :)

This book is adorable. I shall read it to children, both mine and others. It's a whimsical, yet potent tale of separation and the power of love to unify those lost at life, lost at sea. It's also the place to go for a response to anyone who wishes to live in the Octopuses' garden.
