Pseudonym: Laura Bradford.
It's not often that someone can provide visual proof of the
exact moment their lifelong dream was born. Which means I'm
one of the lucky ones...
Nestled safely in the top drawer of my filing cabinet is the
very first book I ever wrote—a six-page illustrated
story entitled, Kidney Learns a Lesson. Looking back, I
can't help but think the more accurate title would have
been, A Dream Is Born.
While Kidney (a sweetly drawn little brown bear) was
learning the kind of lesson its ten-year-old creator felt
noteworthy, I was falling in love with the process of
writing...of creating a world that came to life beneath my
pencil.
With my path chosen, I began devouring every book I could
find—my earliest favorites being penned by the likes
of Carolyn Keene, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Mary Higgins
Clark...
Through them, I learned the joy of reading. Through my
devotion to craft, I learned the joy of plotting and
creating. And through my readers, I've learned the joy of
providing a momentary escape from life—a chance to
explore a new place, a new career, a new hobby, a new
experience.
Because that's what books do. They allow us to dream...
And dreaming is something I know all about.
