Paula Lafferty lives in the Kansas City area with her husband, daughter, and Otto (the sweetest dog there ever was). She received a BFA in Film Production from Chapman University and a Master of Divinity from Saint Paul School of Theology. She has a taste for finding magic in “the ordinary” and a spark for discovering stories at every turn. Telling stories is the thread that runs through Paula’s life, and La Vie de Guinevere is her debut novel which she originally funded through a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign.
