About me...
Hello, I’m Laura, and, held together by God’s grace, I’m muddling my way through the rocky terrain of living a resurrected life amongst the everyday ordinary.
I live both filled with the joy of being a beloved child of God, yet also wearied and distressed by our broken world, longing for its restoration, and restless to arrive home in the new Eden promised.
My heart calls me to write.
I write devotionals, meditations, sermons, and poetry. But most of all I love to write epic stories which explore theology and encourage my readers to realise all they have been given and commissioned in Jesus, and so live loved, and live to shine God’s love into every sphere of their lives. God is worthy of all glory, and, restored as God’s image-bearers, it is the purpose of all God’s people to make God known in the world.
I have always lived in Sydney, on Australia’s gorgeous eastern coast. After earning a Bachelor of Arts Degree from Sydney University in Modern and Ancient History, I had the pleasure of completing a Diploma of Theology at Sydney Missionary and Bible College. Here I picked up the pet soap-boxes of mission advocacy and teaching the Bible as one unified story. (At the words ‘biblical theology’ I swoon a little inside. I am this type of weird.)
I am the mother of three lovely boys. They drive me crazy, but are also my daily teachers in the art of patience and delight. When my husband and I married, we stuck up a printout on our fridge of Joshua 24:15: ‘As for me and my household, we will serve the LORD’. Over a decade later I still see the same tattered piece of paper when I walk into our kitchen. This is us. Imperfectly, shambolically, relentlessly, we are messy pioneers of the unfolding new creation.
I enjoy tea (too much tea), cake, cheese, sleep, propagating succulents, meandering through wild bushland, juicy conversation, good books, and gifting my favourite books to others. I dislike lying awake at 3am.
I have some journeying ahead of me before you see my books on shelves, but never fear, for you’ll also find me here, writing stories, talking about stories, and inviting you to be part of God’s story.

“But if I say, ‘I will not mention him or speak any more in his name,’
his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones.
I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot.”
Jeremiah 20:9
