• LAUREN LEE MEREWETHER

    Lauren writes emotionally charged romantic sagas that span ancient worlds, fantastical realms, and shadow-drenched landscapes. Whether set in lost civilizations, cursed seas, or the shadows of forgotten legends, her stories explore the tension between love and legacy, fate and free will.


    A multi-award-winning author, Lauren blends historical fiction, fantasy, and slow-burn romance into tales that pierce the heart and stir the soul—without explicit scenes or profanity. Where violence always carries emotional consequence and love is always worth its cost. She excavates history and mythology to unearth overlooked truths and reimagine them through characters who love fiercely, break deeply, and rise stronger.


    Lauren creates sweeping stories for readers who crave emotionally intense journeys—where magic lingers at the edges of reality, and the past is never truly gone.

  • About the Stories

    Lauren writes about the kind of love that lingers—slow-burn, hard-won, and tangled in the struggle between fate and free will. Her characters are bound by blood, torn by legacy, and tested by the shadows they carry. You won’t find explicit scenes or profanity in her books, but you will find sacrifice, betrayal, and the ache of love that almost slipped away.


    Each story is carved from the silence of ruins and the whispers of forgotten myths. In these dark worlds, cursed seas rise, queens defy kings, and ancient powers stir. If you crave romance set against the storm of history or the shimmer of magic—where the cost of power is high and no heart escapes unchanged—you’re exactly where you belong.

Notes from the Author

  • Why I Write

    I write to remind myself—and anyone walking through the trenches of life—that pain can shape purpose, that hope can rise from heartbreak, and that we are never truly alone.

    My stories are love notes to the fearful, the voiceless, the broken, and the brave. They explore what it means to endure, to question, to hope again, and to choose connection over despair.

    What began as a legacy for my children—to show them that grit, vision, and mentorship can make anything possible—has become a calling to give voice to the voiceless and reflect a truth we all share:

    We all bleed. We all long. And we all need each other to survive.

    These are stories for the hurting.

    Hope for the healing.

    Humanity at the heart.

    These are the stories I needed. And maybe, they’re the ones you need too.

  • A Note on My Historical Fiction Novels

    Although I strive to paint an accurate picture of historical events, details and people, I obey the demands of story and drama first. I am not a historian, an Egyptologist, a Kemetologist, or an archaeologist and have never made claims to be. I am a novelist and love history, researching, and creative writing. My stories are dramatized fiction based on facts and theories unless my inner storyteller dictated they be different. Please do not blend the professions.


    To help the reader delineate between historical fact and fiction, I include A Look into the Past section in the back of my books with a summary of my research as it relates to the story. The information I use to write this section is considered Common Knowledge (many sources saying the same thing or found in an encyclopedia) or are my own assumptions about the subject matter.

    This section is not all encompassing and not meant to act as an authoritative paper. I include this section in the back of each book because I like to read what actually happened after reading a historical fiction novel. In addition, I enjoy writing it for my readers in the hopes of sparking the same passion for history I have.

  • My Other Activities

  • Content Advisories

    I love content advisories on movies I watch for myself and my family and for when I make recommendations. There is no current industry rating standard for books. So, with that being said, a majority of my books contain violence and what I would consider adult themes and/or scenes; however, I do not write explicit sex scenes nor do I write with language deemed offensive or mature in the United States.

    Additionally, I do not recommend the majority of my books for readers under the age of 13 unless with parental or legal guardian guidance and permission. Thank you!​
