Lauren Thoman

Lauren Thoman writes speculative fiction featuring diverse ensemble casts for teens and adults, including the Mindy's Book Studio pick I'll Stop the World, and the post-apocalyptic YA series Dread Chaser.

Born and raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, Lauren now lives outside of Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband and two children in a chaotic household that includes a fluctuating number of dogs, cats, birds, and a somewhat alarming quantity of fish. When she's not writing, she's probably on the hunt for tacos or coffee, poking around her flowerbeds, or buried underneath a pile of dogs.
