HEY, I’M LARA.
Stories are my oxygen. They’re my lighthouse, the keys to the dungeon, my glasses to see, the moon in the inky night. Stories saved me. I hope to write stories that can do all that for you. Get to know me, my story, and why stories matter so much to me ↓
Lara d’Entremont
MEET THE AUTHOR
I grew up writing and weaving stories—stories of chasing wild horses, children with mystical powers, catching fairies, and worlds unlike ours—as I traipsed through the forest in my backyard. But then as I grew up, I thought I had to outgrow fairytales, too. I left those stories behind, stuffed in a blue tote bin where light could not stain or shed its brilliance on them. I had to write only inspirational articles and how-tos that told people what to think and believe.
Yet as I cradled little children in my arms and read stories to them, and the scorching fires of suffering charred me, I turned to stories for life, and my love was rekindled.

01 | MY THREE BOYS
Their antics, their whimsy, their questions, their curiosity, their humour . . . Every story I write is because I hope they will love it someday.
02 | MY RURAL HOME
Being so close to nature, watching the wildlife, and seeing the both the beauty and absurdity of creation is always drawing new ideas and stories out of me.
03 | BOOKS (OF EVERY GENRE)
Books make me ask questions and give me windows into other perspectives that I wouldn’t have considered before, inspiring new ideas and concepts that I want to try in my own writing.
04 | MY SUFFERING
Every grief, every hurt, every broken thing in my life inspires me to find a way to illuminate hope in even that kind of pain for others and show them what can grow in even this barren land.
