Laura has been creating in one way or another since she was a tiny human. She wrote her first vampire book when she was twelve, but she lost her way a little as an adult and didn’t pick up a fiction book for ten years. Now, she’s often lost in the pages of a book or writing her own.
A lover of all things draped in darkness and steeped in spice, Laura likes writing characters who must embrace their shadows to find the heart of who they are. If she can inspire one other person to do the same, her books will have served their purpose.

In 2021, I found a Court of Thones and Roses - which (predictably) threw me into a rabbit-hole of fantasy books after years of reading only non-fiction (who was I?!)
​
Fast forward three years, I'm publishing my first book as an indie author and have an array of stories ready to be birthed into the world.
​
As an indie author, I do A LOT of the process myself, including map design, cover design, formatting, and so many other bits and pieces in between. I am only a baby in the indie author world - but if you're an indie author who has questions or needs help at any stage of their journey, please reach out and I will do my utmost to help you!
My debut novel - dark fantasy romance and book one in the Whispers of Eden trilogy!
