ⓘ About Laura Purcell

Laura Purcell is a bestselling horror, paranormal and historical fiction author best known for the “Hanoverian” series of novels. She is a former bookseller who decided to get into fiction writing when she published “Queen of Bedlam,” the debut novel of her series in 2014. The series of historical novels did so well that she has gone on to pen more than eight titles over the years. Over the years, Laura Purcell had a very diverse taste in genres but held a particular love for thrillers, well written historical sagas and the Classics. As such, she doesn’t really have any favorite novel even though she has reread classics such as “A Tale of Two Cities,” “Wuthering Heights” and “Pride and Prejudice.” She also has an obsession with the works of Daphne Du Maurier.
