Adventures of Captain Xdey (23 page)

About the Author

Laura started writing at a young age when she discovered it was an outlet for her crazy imagination. Though she will forever have the South in her heart, she currently lives in New Hampshire with her beau and their four-legged children, Mr. Clyde Barker, and Ms. Bonny McBunnyears.

When she is not working on her latest story, you can find her in a comic book store, watching ghost stories, or indulging in her unhealthy habit of collecting antique books.
