Hi, I’m Laura Anthony — I write stories about ordinary people living through extraordinary times, finding love, loss, and hope in the quiet corners of history. I live in County Kildare, Ireland, with my husband, our children, and far too many cups of unfinished coffee.
I’ve always been drawn to the kind of stories that stay with you—the ones that make you think about your own family, a friendship you miss, or something you wish you’d said. I try to capture real emotions, small moments, and characters who feel like people you’ve actually met, even if they lived decades ago.
When I’m not writing, I’m usually cooking, or running along winding back roads, and promising myself 'just one more chapter' of whatever audiobook I’m currently hooked on.
P.S. 'Laura Anthony' is a pseudonym, a small tribute to my late niece and my late father. But if you look closely, you might spot a ‘Janelle’ gently sneaking into my novels—that’s me.
