Author Bio:

Laurie Alice Eakes grew up in a family of readers. Some of her earliest childhood memories are of being read to. She liked adventure stories the best. Once she started to read herself, she carried a book with her everywhere. When Laurie Alice was naughty (more than she likes to admit), her mother threatened to take her books away from her as a form of serious punishment. It worked.

Besides reading and writing, Laurie Alice likes long walks, especially on the beach or through the mountains, knitting, though she’s not very good at it, and watching movies with her husband. Other people, too, but especially her husband. They also enjoy live music and theater, trying new types of foods and visiting interesting places.
