ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Lauren Michelle Smith was raised in the small Midwestern town of Alleman, Iowa—a town where everyone knows everyone, and where detasseling corn is just another summer job. To the surprise of many of her Cyclone-cheering friends and her family, Lauren eventually found herself in the metropolis of Iowa City where she studied Psychology at the University of Iowa. The notion of becoming a published author was put on the back burner. Then during one of many cold, autumn night study sessions, a seemingly platonic friendship with her nerdy roommate blossomed into something more.
Two semesters and a Bachelor's degree later, Lauren drove a thousand miles to Austin, Texas to chase the love of her life. She applied to Graduate school with hopes of breaking into the field of therapy, but was kindly turned away. This would turn out to be a blessing both financially and artistically.
While the view out her window changed from horizons to highways, books remained a constant in her life. She began writing with hopes of giving other people the same inspiration, connection, and escape that reading has given her, using her own life experience as a loose template.
When she's not reading or writing, Lauren is the nanny to two adorable little kiddos. And by day’s end; a hot pizza, an ice cold beer, and snuggling with her man to a great movie is her version of paradise.
