Laura Sebastian
Lady Smoke, Ash Princess
LAURA SEBASTIAN grew up in Key Largo, Florida (like the Beach Boys song). She studied Performing Arts at Savannah College of Art and Design before segueing her love of storytelling into writing plays, then books. Her first book, ASH PRINCESS, is in stores now and its sequel LADY SMOKE, will be out in April 2019. She now lives in New York City with a dog named Neville and a precariously tall stack of books to read. You can follow her on Twitter (@sebastian_lk) and Instagram (@lauraksebastian).
