Laurinda grew up in rural Western New York and was either reading mysteries or writing short stories when she wasn't horseback riding. A career in administration eventually led to freelance writing assignments in 2005, after she and her husband moved to the high desert of southeast Arizona. Her devotionals have been published in The Upper Room, Christian Devotions, and Faithwebbin. She's written many articles for magazines and in 2012 published both a novel and devotional book.

Laurinda’s Quotes

“The pursuit of happiness is a matter of choice...it is a positive attitude we choose to express. It is not a gift delivered to our door each morning, nor does it come through the window. And it is certain that our circumstances are not the things that make us joyful. If we wait for them to get just right, we will never laugh again.”
― Charles R. Swindoll

“Prayer never evaporates. It sets into motion forces as inexorable and perhaps as "unhurriable" as a glacier, but when the Lord's arm reaches down, no power in heaven or earth will frustrate him.”
