Lauren Orbison

Lauren Orbison is an independent author residing in Kansas City with her husband and a clingy hound dog named Robin. She is missing a small portion of her 22nd chromosome* and offers a $50 reward if you find it.

Her mutant superpowers include befriending dragons, writing down her observations, and talking until people's ears fall off. Tortellini is her first published title, but she has other books in various stages of completion.
