Lulu Astor

Lulu Astor was born in Brooklyn, NY, and for years lived in Lower Manhattan where she met her husband. It was an arranged marriage—they were introduced and forced together by their dogs hooking up through a love-at-first-sight bromance. After marrying (the people, not the dogs), they had two human boys while moving across the country because they thought it would be fun to compress all of life's ordeals into one intense period. They made stops along the way from NY to LA before ending up back in downtown Manhattan and then ultimately in upstate New York. Always a reader, always a writer, Astor's been at it in some form or another since... well, forever. Her love of the printed word has taken her from avid reader to proofreader, copy editor, and writer of nonfiction, poetry, short fiction, and finally novels. She also teaches writing and literature as an adjunct professor and totally appreciates having a captive audience. When not writing, editing, or teaching, she can be found with her golden retriever and little rescue terrier somewhere in the hills of Connecticut or watching BBC shows on Netflix. Or napping.
