Born and raised in rural central Illinois, Lauren Noard resides in her hometown with her husband, daughter, two sons, one chocolate lab, and two black cats. A former high school English teacher, she left her teaching career in 2023 to stay at home with her youngest son, which has allowed her more freedom to pursue her passion for writing.
She enjoys writing heartwarming, humorous women's fiction set against small-town and rural landscapes, mostly in the American Midwest. Although she's been writing since she was very young, Firefly Landing and Harvest Season are her first published works.
When she's not writing or chasing her kids, she enjoys reading (of course), spending time with family, going for walks, and decorating her house for every season and holiday.
