Laurie is a writer/film-maker living in the Ottawa area. She is an amateur herbalist, genealogist and painter. She also has a diploma in Accounting, specializing in artists and writers.
Growing up on army bases around the world, she learned early to use her imagination and dark humour to keep herself entertained. These days she lives in her imagination, writing dark fantasy, crossover mysteries, and cookbooks. Joining her in her century old farmhouse are her long-suffering husband, who never knows whether she’s talking about book characters or real people; a 23lb white behemoth, who thinks he’s a cat named Yeti; and a 4lb black cat called Jules Verne, who bosses Yeti around. You can find her sharing her enthusiasm and knowledge at book festivals and conventions in the Ottawa area.
