* You're misremembering the name. There are many authors with similar-sounding names, or perhaps you're thinking of a different type of creative professional (like a screenwriter or playwright).
* The author is less known. It's possible this author has published works, but they haven't achieved widespread fame.
* The name is a pseudonym. Some authors use pen names, so the real identity of "Lawrence Gordon" might be unknown.
To help me figure out who you're looking for, could you provide any more context? For example:
* Genre of writing: What kind of books or stories does this author write? (e.g., fiction, non-fiction, poetry, etc.)
* Titles of any works: Do you remember any specific book titles or stories by this author?
* Era or location: When and where was this author active?
With more information, I might be able to help you find the author you're looking for!
