A YA debut called "rich and thoughtful" by Booklist, The Love Letters of Abelard and Lily follows the budding romance of two unbelievably lovable neurodivergent teens.

Laura Creedle is the author of The Deep Well, which Kirkus Reviews called "a fresh take on horror," and The Love Letters of Abelard and Lily. When they're not writing, Laura can usually be found playing pinball or watching indie horror. They live in Austin, Texas, with their husband and a feral cat named Hellman who was found with her head stuck in a mayonnaise jar.
