The Orion Express is a mother-daughter collaboration which began as a simple wonderment when Lauren would view the star constellationsand speculate who had looked at those stars thousands of years ago. Every winter night when she would walk her puppy, Lauren would view the Orion constellation and imagine ancient Egyptians looking at those same stars. Those reoccurring thoughts took root in her imagination and stories started to unfold.Lauren would tell these stories to her mother, Paula on their commutes to karate practices which they both achieve 2nd degree black belts in Tang Soo Do. To encourage her daughter to write, Paula had devised a plan to put forth a novel to capture those inspirations. In karate, once mother and daughter stepped on the mat they were equals. They used the same unconventional approach with their writings. Once they began writing, they were peers both equally contributing their ideas to create an ancient destination for The Orion Express.
