ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Nina Laurin studied Creative Writing at Concordia University in Montreal, where she currently lives. She arrived there when she was just twelve years old, and she speaks and reads in Russian, French, and English but writes her novels in English. She wrote her first novel while getting her writing degree, and Girl Last Seen was a bestseller a year later in 2017.
Nina is fascinated by the darker side of mundane things, and she’s always on the lookout for her next twisted book idea. Learn more at NinaLaurin.com.
