LR Lam (who has also written as Laura Lam) was raised near San Francisco, California, by two former Haight-Ashbury hippies. Both of them encouraged Lam to colour outside of the lines and consider the library a second home. They moved to Scotland in 2009 and at times they miss the sunshine.
They are the Sunday Times Bestselling author of Dragonfall, Goldilocks, Seven Devils and Seven Mercies (co-written with Elizabeth May) False Hearts (a BBC radio 2 book club selection), Shattered Minds (an Amazon editor's book of the month), and the award-winning Micah Grey trilogy (Pantomime, Shadowplay, Masquerade). They also write geeky f/f romance under the name Laura Ambrose.
They currently live in Edinburgh and work as a book coach and lecturer in addition to writing.

L R Lam recommends
The Serpent Called Mercy (2025)
Roanne Lau
"The Serpent Called Mercy is a propulsive story of monsters--the beasts they fight in the arena, but also humans and the at times monstrous society they've created. The atmosphere is vivid and leaps off the page, the characters are empathetic and scrappy, and the friendship at the heart of it all makes this book sing. An accomplished debut - I absolutely loved it."
Mindbreaker (2023)
Kate Dylan
"Mindbreaker is everything you want in a cyberpunk thriller: sharp writing, explosive pacing, and hard-hitting questions about tech and AI. It's like reading a Marvel blockbuster in book form."
The Moon Represents My Heart (2023)
Pim Wangtechawat
"Bold, experimental, and beautiful, The Moon Represents My Heart might break your heart, but it'll also put it back together again. A sweeping tale across the fabric of time, countries and cultural borders, and family ties, this book is a rumination on how grief can keep you trapped in the past, but there's always the hope to move forward once again."
