Author bio

My name is Lara Taylor, and I love stories! I started out as an actor, attending university in New York City to further hone my skills of telling stories through the performance medium. Soon, I discovered new trails and passions, and was teaching, performing, directing and writing stories on both stage and screen. Now, I'd like to try my hand at literary storytelling! I write songs, poems and short stories, and am currently hard at work on my first YA novel!
