Dan Lawton’s 'The Green House' wins 2021 NH Literary Award for fiction

CONCORD — Earlier this month suspense, mystery and thriller writer Dan Lawton took top honors in the Biennial New Hampshire Literary Awards in the fiction category. Lawton’s book, “The Green House” is the story of Girard Remington, a fragile elderly man whose life was tragically shattered 37 years ago. In the novel, tragedy strikes again, involving his beloved wife. The pain of the two interwoven tragedies nearly pushes Girard to madness. He finds his only solace in the greenhouse he built long ago. There he discovers the power behind it, which he didn’t even know existed. Seven flowers, seven colors, seven meanings, and one 37-year-old secret — the green house is the keeper of it all.

"The Green House" is the writer’s most critically acclaimed novel to date. The book has also been recognized as the Bronze Medalist in Adult Fiction for the 2020 Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY Awards); a finalist for the 2021 Montaigne Medal (Eric Hoffer Awards) for most thought-provoking book; a finalist in Mystery for the 2020 Book Excellence Awards; a finalist in Fiction for the 2020 Next Generation Indie Book Awards; and a finalist in Literary Fiction for the 2020 American Fiction Awards.

When he is not writing, Lawton enjoys reading, watching sports, exercising, and spending time with family.

“The Green House” is available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Gibson’s Bookstore and other independent bookstores. It is available in paperback, as an e-book, and audio version.

Currently a Concord, NH resident, he is a graduate of Belmont High School and New England College in Henniker, NH. He is a member of the International Thriller Writers Association.
