Laura Ambrose is an American who now lives in Scotland, where she writes about beautiful women falling in love while drinking tea and occasionally staring outside the window at Arthur’s Seat and Edinburgh Castle.

Laura also writes speculative fiction under the name Laura Lam, including the award-winning gaslight fantasy Micah Grey trilogy (Pantomime, Shadowplay, Masquerade), which stars an intersex, genderfluid protagonist who joins a magical circus, and feminist cyberpunk thrillers False Hearts & Shattered Minds. The next book under that name is Seven Devils, co-written with Elizabeth May, which is pitched as Mad Max: Fury Road in space.
