Autorenporträt
Lauren Gregory, who was raised on a horse farm, discovered a love for writing in sixth grade when she learned could move people with words. She misplaced that love for a couple decades and traveled the world in the U.S. Navy, floundered through two college degrees, and embarked on raising a rowdy son who's too much like her. She found that love again on a cold November morning in 2013, and they've been locked in a tortured embrace ever since. These days, she writes novels, maintains a history blog, and herds poodles in her native Colorado.
