Ooooohhhh! There are so many, I love Anne and Gilbert and Katniss and Peta but my favorite ever has to be Jane Eyre and Mr. Rochester. Why? Well, I've read Jane Eyre many times over my life, probably more than any other book and every time I read it, I get a new feel for their relationship. When I was young, it was the scandalous feeling of their love, 'She's in love with her boss!' . Now that I'm older, I love their mutual respect for each other. I love their acceptance of each other's faults and the fact that they take each other exactly how they are. Their love and dedication to one another is wonderful.

Hi Norvi, Thank you so much for your question. First off, please let me apologize for the mistakes in FEATHER. I know how annoying and distracting that is. I wrote FEATHER in a very short time and a lot of mistakes happen when you are writing quickly. I was so excited when my publisher picked it up that I did not check their editors work closely. It is completely my fault and I'm so sorry. My publisher did not use that editor again and I learned to take more ownership in my work and not trust anyone else to get it right. If you read the rest of the trilogy, you won't find mistakes like that. Thanks so much for reading FEATHER and I'm thrilled that you are enjoying it. Let me know what you think at the end and happy reading! True Love, Laurie

My brain is a strange and active place. I don't really need inspiration, it seems to just run on it's own.

I have a new novel that I am finished and it is getting looked at. It is called "The Wilds" and I love it. I really love it. I think it is a unique idea and a story we haven't seen before. Hopefully, it will be on shelves soon!

I say this all the time. Don't stop writing. No matter what, just keep writing. Your work will get better the longer that you do it and the better it gets, the more you will enjoy it. Write what you want to and love it.

Honestly? I don't get writers block often. I have gotten my characters stuck in a place or situation that I have no idea how to get them out. If this happens, I usually try to mix things up a bit. Have them find a new element to the story or change the weather. A storm can add a lot of changing elements to a scene.

I have an outlet for my crazy imagination. People call it imagination...and not just crazy!

Ummmm, that's a rough one. If I tell you where I got the idea for my newest novel, it would give away the biggest surprise of the novel and I don't want to do that! Sorry.
