About the Author
Laura Lam was raised near San Francisco, California, by two former Haight-Ashbury hippies. Both of them encouraged her to finger-paint to her heart's desire, colour outside of the lines, and consider the library a second home. This led to an overabundance of daydreams. She moved to Scotland in 2009 and at times she misses the sunshine. She is the author of False Hearts (a BBC radio 2 book club selection) , Shattered Minds (an Amazon editor's book of the month) , and the award-winning Micah Grey trilogy (Pantomime, Shadowplay, Masquerade) . Her next book is the co-written space opera with Elizabeth May, Seven Devils, out in 2020.She also writes geeky f/f romance under the name Laura Ambrose.
