edit data

Laura currently lives in Colorado with her husband and dog. After college, she settled into the aviation field and is still there today. During her free time she enjoys reading, writing, and starting DIY projects around the house that don't always get finished.

Her sister and co-writer Elaina Phillips sucked her into reading fantasy novels years ago. Once she started reading, she simply couldn't stop. They wrote their debut series PRICE OF POWER together and are releasing the first book of the trilogy in September. Through this process, she rediscovered her love of writing and plotting that had been such a large part of her when she was younger.

Wh…moreI'm rather lucky in this department seeing as I have a co-author to help me. It seems as though when I'm stuck, she's easily able to power through. When she's drawing a blank, I'm there to bounce ideas off of.

Don't get me wrong though, there have been times where neither of us knew what to do. What I discovered after numorous rewrites for our debut novel is that if something is blocking you, it's because you took a route that you shouldn't have taken. A lot of our time during our early drafts was spent trying to make something fit. A story should never be made into something it's not. If the author allows the characters to lead the way then these blocks aren't as big of an issue. (less)

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

It sounded like such a great idea when we started but we quickly learned that writing a deep plotted trilogy right off the bat might have been biting off more than we could chew. I lost count with how many rewrites and plot issues that surfaced.

Then book two came along and it was a completely different experience. I wanted to write and write quickly because I wanted to know where the story and characters would take me. By the time the second draft was written, I was beyond excited to dig into the final outline... how will our series actually end?

That feeling of excitement is what I like the most. When you delve into the story so much that even I'm crying as I write it. You're absorbed into the histories and lives of these characters that, even as a reader, you don't get to experience otherwise. (less)
