LBE Hackney

My name is Lauren and I’m an author from a seaside suburb of Brisbane, Australia.

I love exploring with my family, travel, trying new things, laughing out loud and being out doors.

A favourite pastime of mine is story telling. Whether it be a bedtime story, a campfire story or a road trip story. I love combining these into my work and sharing them with people in creative ways.

I love to help children grow their ‘imagination muscle’ while encouraging them to make their own stories. Encourage them to read, create, imagine and laugh out loud!

I started writing after a horrid year in 2020. Covid put an end to my aviation career and only a few months later, my husband of 41 suffered a life-threatening heart attack that left him diagnosed with heart failure. Refusing to have those events as my main memories, I made up stories with my children and together we created, wrote, illustrated and published our family bedtime story ‘The Lolly Shop’.

It doesn't matter how old you are - imagination and story can save the day!
