Laura Findley Evans

Laura Findley Evans’s writing journey is deeply rooted in a love for storytelling, a passion that began when she was a child, crafting tales just to entertain her grandchildren. This spark for creating worlds and characters soon became more than a family pastime—it evolved into a full-fledged literary pursuit. Drawing on her Midwestern roots and experiences in education, Evans writes stories that speak to the imagination, weaving magical worlds where readers of all ages can escape into realms filled with wonder and adventure.

Her debut series, The Dragon and the Girl, introduces readers to Eliana, a courageous twelve-year-old girl, and Winston, a dragon who defies the odds to form an unlikely bond with her. As the duo embarks on transformative adventures, Evans’s narrative explores themes of friendship, bravery, and the courage to face the unknown. The series is an embodiment of her belief that stories should connect generations, bridging the gap between youthful imagination and the wisdom of age.
