  ABOUT THE AUTHOR

  Laura Elizabeth Woollett was born in Perth, Western Australia, in 1989. Her initial inspiration for The Wood of Suicides came after looking up the origins of her name, and discovering the root “Laurel” and the myth of Apollo and Daphne. She began writing the novel as an undergraduate at the University of Melbourne, where she was exposed to further influences like Freudian theory and the Romantic poets. In 2012, she earned an honors degree in creative writing. While Laura continues to be interested in the mythical, she has recently turned her eye toward more contemporary subjects. She is at work on a collection of short stories about the lovers and accomplices of evil men, The Love of a Bad Man.
