      <image:title>ABOUT - ABOUT THE AUTHOR</image:title>
      <image:caption>Born and raised in the rural Sierra Nevada foothills of Northern California’s Gold Country on Nisenan land, Lauren Lee Smith is a novelist and screenwriter whose works confront the darker, more taboo elements of the feminine experience. A mother of three young children, her work often explores maternal mental health, trauma, male brutality and the historical intersections of diverse cultures through the lens of feminist horror. Lauren is represented by Janklow &amp; Nesbit.</image:caption>
