Laura Martin

Born and bred on the South Coast of England into a family of two loving parents and a spirited older sister, books were a feature of Laura's life from early on. One of her earliest memories involves sitting with the family on a rainy Sunday afternoon listening to the exploits of a clumsy but lovable stuffed bear and his assorted cuddly friends. Laura's first ambition was to be a doctor, and in 2006 she went off to Guy's, King's and St Thomas' Medical school in London to study medicine. It was whilst she was earning her degree she discovered her love of writing. In between ward rounds and lectures Laura would scribble down ideas to work on later that evening and dream of being an author. In 2012 Laura married her high school sweetheart and together they settled down in Cambridgeshire. It was around this time Laura started focussing on the Romance genre, and found what she had always suspected to be true: she was a romantic at heart. Laura now spends her time writing Historical Romances when not working as a doctor.In her spare time Laura loves to lose herself in a book and has been known to read from cover to cover in a day when the story is particularly gripping. She also loves to travel with her husband, especially enjoying visiting historical sites and far flung shores
