Laura Ford is a novelist and environmental charity founder.
She writes novels, stories and poems across a wide range of human and animal experience. Laura graduated with an honours degree in British law while also writing fiction in parallel. Laura Ford’s first novel Sounds Like Love is recognized by critics as a heartwarming tale of self-discovery and inner strength in the face of adversity.
Now based in California with her husband and their marvelous, (yet opinionated) cats, Laura most enjoys using her imagination and memories to paint vivid stories. An avid traveler and seeker, Laura is always exploring new concepts for more stories to come.
In 2021, Laura established the Pollinator Protection Fund, a registered non-profit organisation focused on creating pollinator habitat gardens and providing educational information to support pollinator habitat.
