LaShun White is an anthropologist-turned-storyteller whose creative range stretches from bold works of fiction, self help journals and photo-essay Anthologies. Since her debut novel Bad to the Bone (October 2024), she has completed two more books and is drafting two additional titles slated for 2025. Her catalog spans thrillers, romance, mystery, and an award-aiming work of historical fiction—her favorite genre for the way it gives a window into the bedrock of Black society. As an openly queer author, LaShun weaves authentic lesbian narratives into many of her works, determined to carve out the representation her community still rarely finds in fiction. She gravitates to novellas— “short, sweet, and never boring”. Lashun still treasures the first book she made on her own at the age of 4: ten glued-together pages that launched a lifelong love of words. Beyond writing, she is passionate about every form of art, continuously exploring new ways to capture the human experience.
