She whole-heartedly blames this amazingly fun-filled childhood on her fabulously warm and caring family; particularly her patient and incredibly understanding parents and her wonderfully talented and ever-encouraging sister! The author attended Ellesmere Port Catholic High School until the age of eighteen where she gained thirteen GCSEs and four A-Levels. She then went on to study Drama and Writing at Edge Hill University, then wrote and staged her original psychological thriller, Forget Me Not© in 2006 before returning to education to study for a BTEC in Production Arts! Following this she taught Performing Arts at local college. Now that she's all grown up, Laura is committed to becoming a full-time Writer, as was always her dream and ambition. She hopes that SPLINTERED will be the first successful novel of many.
