About Dorian Box

Dorian Box is the pen name for A.J. McClurg, a former law professor. He likes to blend dark themes with heart, hope and humor with a goal of evoking tears and laughs from the same book.

His novels have received awards and honors such as: Writer’s Digest Award for Genre Fiction; Publishers Weekly BookLife Prize Semifinalist (twice); IndieReader Discovery Award for Fiction; Feathered Quill Medal for Mystery/Suspense; Best Psychological Thriller of the Year and Finalist, Best Legal Thriller of the Year (BestThrillers.com); National Indie Excellence Award Finalist; and Readers’ Favorite medals in three different categories (Suspense, Humor, and New Adult Fiction).

His nonfiction books include an Amazon Editors’ Favorite Book of the Year. As a legal expert, he’s been interviewed by National Public Radio, the PBS Newshour, the New York Times, and numerous other sources. McClurg (or maybe it’s Box) lives out his childhood rockstar fantasies singing and playing in Memphis cover bands.
