Lauren always had a book in her hand while she was growing up. When she wasn’t reading other people’s stories, she was writing her own, creating new worlds that she hopes will one day excite the imaginations of others.

She attended Clemson University, earning her BA in English Literature and Language. Despite Lauren’s degree, she started undergrad as a mathematics major, enjoying the numerical puzzles of calculus. Only after taking an honors class on Worldbuilding during her freshman year did she finally decide to switch majors and pursue a topic about which she is passionate.

Lauren is still a voracious reader, consuming all things fantasy, sci-fi, and historical fiction. When not engrossed in a new story, Lauren enjoys baking and hiking in the mountains.
