ⓘ About Laura Morelli

Laura Morelli is a historical fiction novelist best known for her series of novels “Venetian Artisans.” She grew up in Georgia and still spends a lot of time in the state. She had a great childhood riding horses, climbing trees, turning over rocks, fishing, and playing in the barn with chickens and cows. There were hardly any kids she could play with during this time and for about seven years she was an only child who had to learn to entertain herself. She would become a bookworm, reading everything and anything she could get her hands on. One of her favorite spots in town was the used bookstore in town and she can still remember how it used to smell. Even at that very young age, she had dreams of one day becoming an author.
