Before the next chapter arrives, there was already a body of work.
From global real estate and luxury lifestyle to love, legacy, transformation, and the awakening of a new generation, my books reflect the many rooms I have lived in, built from, and eventually outgrown.
Some began as passion projects.
Some were born from business.
Some were created to serve.
And some are arriving now because the story is finally ready to be told.
Together, they reveal the through-line of my work: beauty, place, resilience, reinvention, love, and the courage to become who we were always meant to be.
Featured Books:
Raised by Fire
Raised by Fire is the book that gathers the pieces.
Part memoir, part mythic excavation, and part declaration of becoming, this deeply personal work explores family, identity, trauma, self-worth, resilience, and the journey from survival into ease.
It is not a story about what broke me.
It is the story of what the fire revealed.
Coming November 2026

LaLa's Circle of Love
LaLa’s Circle of Love is a beautifully illustrated children’s story and coloring book about the unconditional love of animals, the healing power of kindness, and the quiet magic of feeling seen.
Inspired by Laura’s real-life animal companions and her own journey to feel safe and loved as a child, the book became the heart of LaLa’s Circle of Love, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit created to spread love one story at a time.
Through the book, monthly child nominations, animal rescue spotlights, care packages, donations, and meaningful acts of support, LaLa’s Circle reminds us that love is not just something we feel.
It is something we give.
The Monarchs of Malibu
The Monarchs of Malibu: The Billionaire’s Guide to Real Estate is part storytelling, part strategy, and part behind-the-scenes look at the world of luxury real estate.
Drawn from Laura’s years as a luxury real estate broker, concierge, coach, and founder of Monarch Legacy Group, this book follows the experiences, expectations, and extraordinary details involved in serving high-net-worth and ultra-high-net-worth clients.
From curated experiences and estate needs to discretion, trust, timing, and excellence, The Monarchs of Malibu captures the business chapter of Laura’s work — where luxury was never just about property.
It was about understanding people, anticipating needs, and creating a level of service most people never see.
Malibu: It's a Way of Life
Originally published in 2013, Malibu: It’s a Way of Life was my first book — a visual love letter to the beaches, gardens, animals, sunsets, fires, history, and spirit of Malibu.
Created from a passion for place and the photography of Emily Ekman, this updated edition returns with revised text and a renewed sense of meaning.
More than a picture book, it captures a feeling: the quiet, wild, sunlit magic that makes Malibu more than a place.
Discover Your Element & Find Your Balance
Discover Your Element & Find Your Balance is a 30-day guide to understanding your natural energy, restoring balance, and reconnecting with the rhythms that support your well-being.
Through elemental insight, self-reflection, and simple daily practices, this book helps readers better understand how they move through the world — and how to return to greater harmony in body, mind, and spirit.
33 Secrets to Luxury Real Estate
33 Secrets to Luxury Real Estate shares insight from my over 25 years in the luxury real estate world — where strategy, presentation, relationships, and trust all matter.
This work reflects tips for full service real estate services, understanding high-end markets, and helping people see what is possible when excellence becomes the standard.
Ready, Aim, Influence
Ready, Aim, Influence was a collaborative effort that reflects my work around visibility, leadership, entrepreneurship, and the power of using your voice with intention.
It belongs to the season of my life where I was helping others build, position, communicate, and step more fully into their influence and understand the power of connection and relationships.
The Through-Line
Looking back, I can see that every book was a doorway.
Malibu taught me to see beauty.
Real Estate taught me to build.
Community taught me to serve.
Fire taught me to rise.
And Flight Path is teaching me how to help others discover who they are before deciding what they will become.
These books are not separate from one another.
They are chapters in the same becoming.
