Laura Wiltse Prior went from creating tales starring "Laura the Great" in her dad's studio office, to crafting short stories when she was supposed to be working in a business office, to writing books for kids in her very own office (well, one she shares with her son's Xbox). She loves reading anything and everything, sneaking cookie dough from the mixing bowl and playing tennis. When she isn't writing, Laura's ferrying her kids around, hiking with her dog Cody, or hanging with Casper and Wally, the cats. She lives in Connecticut with her husband and three kids, the inspiration for her stories.
