Long Bio

Laura L. Zimmerman has a heart for writing young adult fantasy and middle grade mysteries with recurring themes of finding identity, belonging, and found family. Besides writing, she’s an avid coffee drinker and is passionate about loving Jesus, singing loudly, and practicing yoga.

A sucker for anything Jane Austen related, she has a young adult fantasy retelling of Pride and Prejudice releasing with Quill and Flame Publishing in 2027. She’s the author of the award-winning YA fantasy Banshee Song Series, and two middle grade mysteries, all available with major online retailers. Her favorite tropes to read and write are enemies-to-lovers and grumpy/sunshine.

You can find her in a tiny rural town in south-central Pennsylvania where bears sometimes wander over from the state park and hang out in her neighborhood. She hides away in her writing hole with her husband of twenty-five fantabulous years, three daughters, and four adorable kitties. Connect with her through Instagram and Facebook.
