Wife, mother, former U.S. Army sergeant, and dental hygienist, Laura can now add published author to the list. She continues to work as a dental hygienist, which she’s done for over 19 years, hoping to transition out of that within a handful of years and make writing a full-time endeavor. Her publishing dreams came true (at the age of 50!) in 2017. Since then, she’d had the fortune to work with multiple publishers and connect with fantastic people. A voracious reader herself, she strives to write stories she can be proud of and enjoyed by many; ones that are not only sexy and fun, but thoughtful as well. When younger, her love of writing started with poetry after encouragement from her 4th grade teacher. She continues to write poetry, prose, and short stories, enjoying the challenges of various styles. She’s honored to have been recognized as Author of the Month with Spillwords.

It was a crisp, damp, October night.
“When we get to the Church I’ll go down first.” Colin was thinking of the moment when both he and Aaron would be standing at the top of the basement stairs peering down into the darkness.
The old stone Church was perched at the top of the largest hill on the prep school’s campus. Colin’s parents were professors at the school and their house was on campus grounds. They’d been waiting for Colin’s parents to fall asleep upstairs. Both boys were comfortable in their sleeping bags on the screened in porch. The lights had been turned out an hour ago and Colin felt it was time to slip into the night ...
