I find weekend and evening time to blog at lauralanni.com about teaching and worrying and baking. In my to-be-finished folders are two more novels, a children's book, and a screenplay (or two). Once I discovered I loved to write, my mind has insisted I continue the endeavor. Even when I'm not actively writing, the stories percolate and characters develop.(less)

Quotes by Laura Lanni  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“For a full minute, I held my breath. For sixty seconds, maybe more, I existed in an idiotic state of self-denial from completely free, available, and fresh oxygen. I like oxygen. It’s one of my favorite elements. Its absence was not helping with my lightheaded situation.
And then he did it. Eddie Wixim touched his lips to mine, and for the first time in my life I wasn’t thinking with my brain." Anna Wixim, OR NOT TO BE”
Laura Lanni

“I got my toothbrush from the bathroom and, to be efficient, brushed my teeth while I stirred the muffin batter. That's when the doorbell rang. Great. I threw down the wooden spoon, spat in the kitchen sink, and yanked open the door.
And there he stood. Mr. Wixim, in the flesh. --Anna, remembering when Eddie first asked her out”
Laura Lanni, Or Not to Be

“She had no idea that she was a beauty. I couldn't look away." Eddie Wixim's description of Anna”

“If you don't have time to read, you don't have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”
Stephen King

“I believe a strong woman may be stronger than a man, particularly if she happens to have love in her heart. I guess a loving woman is indestructible.”
John Steinbeck, East of Eden
