Lauren C. Teffeau

Lauren C. Teffeau is a speculative fiction writer based in New Mexico. When she was younger, she poked around in the back of wardrobes, tried to walk through mirrors, and always kept an eye out for secret passages, fairy rings, and messages from aliens. She was disappointed.

Now, she writes to cope with her ordinary existence. Her books include the eco-thriller Accelerated Growth Environment (Shiraki Press, 2026), the environmental fantasy A Hunger with No Name (University of Tampa Press, 2024), and the cyberpunk/solarpunk adventure Implanted (Angry Robot, 2018), which was shortlisted for the 2019 Compton Crook Award for best first SF/F/H novel and named a definitive work of climate fiction by Grist.

Over twenty of her short stories have appeared in venues like Sunday Morning Transport, DreamForge Magazine, After Dinner Conversation, and the Stoker Award-nominated Chromophobia: A Strangehouse Anthology by Women in Horror. When not writing, she enjoys spending time with her family as well as biking, hiking, learning aikido, and supporting creators of all kinds as an Artist Leadership Fellow with the Mid-America Arts Alliance.
