Born in New York City, Laura K. Warrell could have been stylish and hip, but instead, was carted off to Ohio to spend her childhood cultivating down-home Midwestern values and an embarrassing Dukes of Hazzard fixation. From the moment she learned the alphabet, Laura wrote stories. "The Little Cat," her first book written at age 6, still holds a coveted spot under a magnet on her mother's fridge.
Laura went to Emerson College in Boston where she majored in creative writing and journalism. Upon graduation, she wrote pieces for local papers and worked as a freelance writer and editor. In 2002, she decided to fulfill a childhood dream of living the literary life in Spain and Germany.
