Biography

Laurie R. King

Since Laurie R. King’s first book, A GRAVE TALENT, came out in 1993, she has gained a reputation as a prize-winning, best-selling author who holds an undying place in the hearts of readers ranging from 14-year-old girls to members of the House of Lords to ninety year-old retired Air Force colonels.

King was born in northern California, the third generation in her family native to the San Francisco area. She spent her childhood reading her way through libraries like a termite through balsa, and her middle years raising children, traveling the world, and studying theology, earning a BA degree in comparative religion and an MA in Old Testament Theology. She now lives a genteel life of crime, back again in northern California.
