Laya Saul

Laya Saul has learned way too much the hard way and earned a Master's degree in "Life's Stupid Mistakes." She later went on to earn a Masters degree in Applied Psychology. As a child she dreamed about helping kids. The older she gets, the older the group of people who fall into the "kid" category! In fact, she's gotten letters about her first book "You Don't Have to Learn Everything the Hard Way" from "kids" who aren't really kids at all any more.

"No one really masters life," says Laya, "If you're in this world, there will always be challenges and lessons. The question is how you'll meet any challenges (health, relationship, money, doesn't matter) so you can dance on with greater joy and purpose."

Laya's most recent book is about women of the Bible. Through the stories of biblical archetypes women and men can tap into the majesty of the matriarchs. In her style, that book is also a kind of self help book using the strengths of the women of the Bible as a basis for us all to learn and grow.

She's currently working on a book about life with chronic/invisible illness, a simple book on making marriage successful, and another picture book!

Born in Los Angeles in 1956, Laya Saul is enjoys time with her family (husband, adult kids, grandkids, a dog, and four hens). She loves hearing from readers and still responds personally.
