Laura loves to write almost as much as she likes to drink tea. She got her start as a contributor to the University of Wisconsin-s student paper The Daily Cardinal and went on to write regularly for The Princeton Review and Match.com. Laura is the author of Man with Farm Seeks Woman with Tractor (Thunder-s Mouth Press, 2005). She lives in Madison, Wisconsin, with her enormous cat Ramona and she can usually be found dancing the lindy hop or volunteering as an art museum docent. Her favorite type of tea is English Breakfast with lots of milk and sugar.

Come to Mother Fool's on April 19th at noon to meet Laura. She will be reading from The Teashop Girls, answering questions, and signing books. Laura will also bring her sticker maker for girls who want to make their own original teacup decorations.
