Laralyn Doran

I found my passion for writing later than most authors. I’d like to say I was writing stories as soon as I could string three words together, but really it all started after I had children. It was writing, or wine.

I’m a major audiobook junkie–as in, I’m a candidate for an intervention. My children rarely see me without AirPods, and hopefully, they don’t feel too ignored.

One day I ran out of books by my favorite authors while driving my daughter to school. I came up with the crazy idea of writing my own story and enrolled in an enrichment course at a community college. The teacher was a romance writer…and there you go…that’s how it all started for me.

Now, “a few” years later, my oldest is in college. I have tucked away a few awards for my manuscripts and published two books in my Driven Women series–A FAST WOMAN, nominated for two Vivian Awards and the winner of LERA’s 2019 The Writer Award and my latest release, BOSS LADY.

I live in Maryland and am a member of Central Pennsylvania Romance Writers, where I have met some amazing, inspiring, and supportive authors who have kept me sane through this journey.
