About Laurel
Hello, and thanks for stopping by. A little information
about me – I live in Minneapolis with my husband and
baby boy, and my full time job is teaching high school
English.
I started writing several years ago. Actually, theater was
my first love, and I started performing with several
different comedy groups in the Twin Cities. We were
always looking for new material though, and I soon
discovered that I enjoyed writing the material as much (if
not more) as I enjoyed performing it.
So I set to work on Following My Toes, which is loosely
based off experiences I had while in my twenties.
However, everything is greatly exaggerated, which is way
more fun than writing what really happened. It took me
about 1 year to write, and 2 years to revise. But I had a
great time, and hope it’s as much fun to read as it was to
write!
