Lauren Wilson

Lauren was infected with a rare strain of undead enthusiasm over a decade ago while fighting off the zombie menace of Raccoon City in the original Resident Evil. From video games to comic books, zombie walks to online communities, there are few corners of the culture she has not explored. And she’s got a decent zed t-shirt collection, to boot. But, being a writer with a curious mind, Lauren's writing career shifted gears in 2018 when she co-authored her first book about the (then) emerging health trend of CBD. With an unquenchable thirst for knowledge and a love of research, she has built her career on tumbling down cultural rabbit holes. Her work has focused on digesting big topics and distilling them into fun and approachable formats. When not writing books, Lauren works primarily as a freelance cannabis writer offering companies her wordsmithing talents along with her deep knowledge of cannabis and CBD science to create targeted educational content for consumers. She is the author of five books, including the bestsellers The Art of Eating Through the Zombie Apocalypse: A Cookbook and Culinary Survival Guide, The Walking Dead: The Official Cookbook and Survival Guide, and Healing with CBD: How Cannabidiol Can Transform Your Health Without the High. Most recently Lauren wrote two books for Snoop Dogg’s cannabis media outlet Merry Jane with Chronicle Books: The CBD Solution: Wellness (published September 22, 2020) and The CBD Solution: Home (coming March 30, 2021). Lauren lives in Brooklyn, New York, with her mischievous cat Sheldon.
