About me

Gender Female
Location CA, United States
Introduction Laura is the author of Winnemucca, a small-town fairy tale inspired by her life-long love of a little known town, Avenal, CA, and her equal love of enchanted teenage road trips. She just released 13 on Halloween, the first book in her Teen Halloween Series. Laura's travel and personal essays have been published in The Los Angeles Times and other Southern California newspapers and magazines. She worked as a multimedia designer for The Los Angeles Times and E! Entertainment Television. She's currently on the road with her husband and his construction project management business. Their first stop outside of LA was Big Sur, CA, where they lived for a few years. She has two grown daughters who love to climb trees as much as she does. She lives with her husband on their third stop along the way on the Monterey Peninsula with their Aussie shepherd, Oso. She's taken up residence in Portland, OR off-and-on. When she's there, you'll find her at the Holiday Inn at the airport, typing away, eating some amazing food at the pods, drinking some great Willamette Valley wine, and visiting Powell's Books of course!
