Carmen Loup (Laura) is a professional humorologist, illustrator of Tarot in Space, and author of The Audacity space opera series. She’s been writing seriously since 2007 and funnily since 2015. Loup grew up on Monty Python, Douglas Adams, and Red Dwarf, but always wondered why only straight white men were making people laugh and endeavored to change that. She writes technicolor fun in space for adults with a dedication to optimism and good humor that shines through even ridiculously horrible situations.
