Laura Dowers

Laura Dowers is a British writer of historical fiction and the author of a new novel The Woman in Room Three. An enthusiastic amateur historian since a teenager, Laura has spent the last twenty years exploring notorious characters from the Tudor era and attempting to rehabilitate their reputations by writing their side of the stories rather than the ones that are so familiar to lovers of this period. She’s also written about Ancient Rome and 1930s England. Her latest novel represents a new direction for her, being a homage to the Sensation fiction writers of the mid-nineteenth-century, such as Wilkie Collins and Mary Elizabeth Braddon.

Shakespeare lover, fan of classic British sci-fi shows and an adoring servant of two cats, Laura lives in London.
