The following is a 2014 interview with Laura.
I
was born and raised in the southern U.S. – Kentucky – but currently I live way
out west in Washington State in a little house in the misty woods with my
real-life hero of 20 years, Randy, and our 2 sons, Wyatt (16) and Paul (14).
How
did you become a novelist, and did you always want to write?
I
wanted to write from the age of 7 when I penned my first story which was and
always has been a historical. The journals I kept when I was a young girl say,
“I want to be an author when I grow up.” I still have them in an old trunk and
it’s interesting to read that wish many years later. Sometimes I think God
instills in us our heart’s desire early on J.
What
do you think is significant about Christian fiction?
I
think the written word is very powerful. Jesus often spoke in parables/stories
that are with us today. Christian fiction is often a seeker’s or
non-Christian’s introduction to a Christian worldview and is capable of
inspiring hungry souls to dig deeper and meet the Savior or get to know Him
better than they do. God is so creative in how He reaches us and I’m thankful
He chooses books as one way to get His message across.
