Long before stories were written down, myths and legends carried tales of love, sacrifice, destiny, and desire across generations. Laura Maurer draws from that enduring tradition to create romantasy stories where the worlds of mythology and romance come together.
With academic backgrounds in English and Comparative Religions, Laura brings a deep appreciation for literature, belief systems, and the stories cultures have used to understand the world around them. Her writing transforms those interests into love stories shaped by legend, combining the imaginative possibilities of fantasy with the emotional connections at the heart of romance.
Creativity has followed Laura beyond the written page. As a jewelry designer, she has created literature-inspired pieces sold in libraries and theaters throughout Southern California. Today, she lives in Scottsdale, where she teaches Pilates and continues writing at her local library.
Visitors to Scottsdale Book Festival 2027 will have the opportunity to meet Laura, learn more about her myth-focused approach to romantasy, and discover stories inspired by legends that have captivated people for generations.
