Lauren Thoman writes speculative fiction for teens and adults. Her debut novel, I'll Stop the World, was selected for publication in 2023 by six-time Emmy nominee Mindy Kaling through her eponymous imprint, Mindy's Book Studio. Lauren's pop culture writing has also appeared in numerous online outlets including Parade and Vulture. Lauren lives outside of Nashville, Tennessee, with her husband and two children in a house full of dogs and fish. When she's not writing, she's probably on the hunt for tacos or coffee, poking around her flowerbeds, or buried underneath a pile of dogs. ...more

You Shouldn't Be Here by Lauren Thoman
"It was a conglomeration of supernatural, romance (but sweet romance, not the explicit kind that makes this little old lady blush), & mystery, with a teeny dash of dragon thrown in for good measure. Quite enjoyable distraction from reality! "

You Shouldn't Be Here by Lauren Thoman
"Lauren's done it again!!!

A genre mashup, well-paced mystery with elements of romcom, supernatural (or is it?), crime, thriller. There's a musical singing ghost, MURDER, an adorable dog, a corporate villain some might think is over the top (unless the" Read more of this review »

Great read! Kept me guessing the whole time, gave me characters I cared about, everyone was a suspect, the writing was great, pacing was on point, basically everything I look for in a mystery/thriller! Can’t wait to read more from Lauren Nossett!

“I swallow, staring at my hand, my throat tight. “Mrs. Hanley, I appreciate this a lot, like, a whole lot, but . . . I feel like I should tell you, I’m not sure I even believe in God.” “That’s all right, sugar,” she says, patting me gently on the cheek. “Maybe he believes in you.”

“he couldn’t see another way out. Staying here would kill him. Maybe not right away, maybe not in a way anyone else would notice, but eventually, Gabe would drain the life from him, leaving nothing but a shell. “It’s not that I don’t appreciate the opportunity,” Shawn said, still—foolishly—hoping he might convince his father to see his side. “But with this award, I could—” “We all could do a lot of things, son,” his father said. “But most people won’t do a fraction of what they could do. I’m giving you the opportunity to do something, never mind the could. And you’re throwing it all away for a shot at a maybe.” He shook his head, looking disgusted. “Maybe this is for the best. Maybe I don’t want someone so selfish and short-sighted working for me anyway.”

“I’d tell him we were both right about the song.” She understood now. Death, but also love. The end of the world, but also hope for the future. All of it could be true at the same time.”
