Lauren Hadley Kermode

For over 20 years, Lauren Hadley Kermode thrived as a successful realtor, building a reputation for honesty, expertise, and a seamless approach to helping families find their perfect homes in Maryland and Delaware.

But Lauren’s greatest joy came not from closing deals, but from creating magical bedtime stories for her granddaughters. Those moments of imagination and connection sparked something special, and years later, her granddaughters’ vivid memories of her tales encouraged her to take a leap into writing.

Now, Lauren is proud to share her first children’s book, featuring Pepé the Coconut Palm and Daisy the Daisy. This whimsical flip-book is just the start of an exciting series of children’s stories, with more adventures in development. Lauren is also working on adult fiction and non-fiction titles, set to launch in 2025, further broadening her storytelling horizons.

Lauren’s mission is simple: to create stories that inspire, uplift, and remind readers of all ages of the magic in life’s everyday moments.
