Lauren Royal's Bio
Lauren Royal became interested in the Restoration period at the age of fourteen, when she sneaked a valuable first- edition copy of Forever Amber out of her great-uncle's library. She began amassing a collection of history books and taking copious notes with the intention of someday writing novels of her own. A fourteen-year career as the CEO of her own jewelry store chain delayed those dreams, but she never forgot them. Lauren lives in southern California with her family.
