Hi, I’m Lauren Rose—urban fantasy author, slow-burn enthusiast, and recovering perfectionist with a soft spot for complicated characters and a strong cup of coffee.

​

I wrote my first “novel” at age eight (The Attack of the Evil Pencils, critically acclaimed by my mom), and I’ve been telling stories ever since. These days, I write immersive, character-driven fiction where the world’s on fire, the romance simmers, and healing is rarely linear—but always earned.

​

By day, I’m a Communications Manager juggling public storytelling, crisis messaging, and city branding. By night, I’m elbows-deep in edits, second-guessing chapter breaks, or stress-organizing my Scrivener files.​ I’m also a mental health advocate living with high-functioning anxiety and a spine that collects bone spurs like weird little souvenirs. Writing helps me turn the hard stuff into something meaningful—a place where vulnerability and hope can share the same page.

​​

When I’m not writing, I’m hanging with my family and friends, listening to a mix that includes Britney Spears, Falling in Reverse, emo-EDM, and Italian pop—because genre loyalty is a myth and chaos is a vibe. I dream of writing from a Tuscan villa someday, but for now, I’ll take coffee on the back porch—usually somewhere between a glamping trip, a beach read, and forgetting to water my plants.

​​

At heart, I’m a hopeless romantic and a big-time dreamer. I believe everyone has a story—just waiting to be told. Thanks for stopping by mine.
