Laura L. Zimmerman lives in a tiny rural town in south-central Pennsylvania with her husband, daughters, and four adorable kitties.

She is currently a drinker of coffee by day, writer by night. Besides staying active with yoga, she’s passionate about anything Harry Potter or Jane Austen, and singing loudly. An avid reader, she often has overdue library fines, and a TBR pile as tall as the Eiffel Tower.

She loves to read and write YA fantasy & sci-fi, and middle grade mystery.

Laura’s Quotes

“There were different kinds of strength. I knew that now. It didn't always come from a knife or a willingness to fight. Sometimes it came from endurance, where the well ran deep and quiet. Sometimes it came from compassion and forgiveness.”
― Ann Aguirre, Enclave

“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, "Go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.”
― Lewis Carroll, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland / Through the Looking-Glass
