Pearson, Lars

(1973- ) US writer and editor who began his career as a journalist and editor working on magazines about collectables and Comics. In 1999 he founded the Mad Norwegian Press, a Small Press which began publishing "unauthorized" reference guides to Doctor Who (1963-current) and other long-running Television series including Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1997-2003) and Angel (1999-2004). At the same time the press published the Faction Paradox series of novels, based on ideas and characters created by Lawrence Miles and relating tales of a group of time travellers (see Time Travel) – initially tenuously related to Doctor Who, though in later books this link is completely absent.
