Laura Noakes is an author of twisty mysteries for children and young adults. When she's not 'researching' crimes or devising increasingly devious obstacles for her fictional characters, she enjoys badly crocheting, playing Nintendo Switch games on the easiest mode and watching copious amounts of reality TV. She is both disabled and chronically ill and her stories usually feature heroines of the same persuasion. She is owned by and obsessed with her two cats, Scout and Sunny. Her debut book, Cosima Unfortunate Steals a Star, was published in 2023, followed by a sequel in 2024.​
