​Laura lived for many years in the Bolivian Amazon, working with rescued wild animals. They write and make art about queer love, other worlds, and kinship with other species. Laura’s first book was a bestselling memoir called THE PUMA YEARS.

 

THE HEART AND THE HAWTHORN, their debut novel, is publishing this summer with Hodderscape: a queer love story about following your heart, and what's possible when you realise that every single creature deserves a voice.

 

Once upon a time, they set up an arts charity called ONCA, which bridged environmental and social justice issues with creativity from a little art gallery in Brighton. They're currently studying for a BA in Painting, Drawing and Printmaking at Arts University Plymouth, otherwise you can find them in the jungle, or by the sea on a small island in the Inner Hebrides. ​​​

They're represented by Rocking Chair Books.
