Publication Order of Lauren Fox Standalone Novels

Lauren Fox is a published American author.

She was born in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in the suburbs. Lauren was born into a family that had lots of love and support and not that much drama going on. She says that from an early age she always knew that she wanted to be a writer and she decided that her best bet would be to make things up. Early fiction attempts included a story about a blind Mexican orphan and another story about a horse who dies in a barn fire.

When Lauren got to college, she enrolled in some creative writing classes and found out about writing what you know. So she decided to start putting out stories that were all about the unhappy love lives that the young curly haired girls with thin skin and plenty of sarcasm led. Her first published story was featured in a nationally distributed college magazine and used the structure of the game show ‘Jeopardy!’ to follow along with the demise of a relationship. Lauren recounts that she was happy that she had created fiction from her two favorite pastimes, watching television and obsessively pining over men who are unavailable.

Once college was done Lauren moved around some. She resided in Washington, D.C. and then lived for some time in Madison, Wisconsin. There she did field research for her stories that revolved around women who were in their twenties who were lonely because they could not find a date. While in grad school in Minneapolis, she decided to take a break from fiction and started writing about her family’s history and the Holocaust.

She has had her writing featured in different publications that include Marie Claire, The New York Times, Psychology Today, Parenting, Salon, and The Rumpus.

When Lauren was 26 years old, she met a guy from Dublin who ended her studies of heartbreak and loneliness. She came up with enough material to last her for a while, though. Today she is married and has two daughters with her husband. She lives in Milwaukee with her family.
