Lauren Kay Johnson grew up in a military family in the Seattle area. She went on to serve as an Air Force public affairs officer and award-winning Department of Defense journalist, deploying to the Republic of Mali and Afghanistan. After receiving an honorable discharge, Lauren earned an MFA in Creative Writing at Emerson College in Boston. In March 2023, Lauren published her debut book, which chronicles her coming-of-age against the backdrop of war—beginning with her mother’s Army career and deployment in support of Operation Desert Storm when Lauren was seven years old, and later with her own service in Afghanistan. Lauren's writing has been featured in the Washington Post, the Atlantic, Boston Globe Magazine, Glamour, Yale Medicine Magazine, and elsewhere. Her writing and interviews have been used in the creation of dance and theater productions, and she has lectured at schools, conferences, and veteran centers across the country. By day, Lauren works for IGNITE Worldwide, a non-profit organization promoting gender and racial equity in STEM fields. She lives with her husband, twin daughters, and two fat cats outside Seattle.
