Author Bio
My name is Lauren, I’m an author from a seaside suburb of Brisbane, Australia.
I love exploring with my family, Travel, trying new things, laughing and being amongst nature.
A favourite past time of mine is story telling. Whether it be a bedtime story, a campfire story or a road trip story. I love combining these into my work and sharing them with people in creative ways.
I have a house full of animals including chickens, fish, cockatiels and we have recently adopted our first dog.
