Laura Bowers

Laura Bowers is a writer, runner, reader, Joyful Miles blogger, runDisney addict, and obsessed journaler with a thriving pen addiction. She lives in Maryland with her husband of 28 years and some of her past job titles include waitress, salesperson, telemarketer, secretary, real estate agent, and during her broke college days, a roving character at holiday parades. (The time she had to wear a painful candy cane costume makes quite an interesting story!)

At the age of thirty, Laura decided to pursue her dream of becoming a writer. Many rejected books later, she was inspired to write her first novel, BEAUTY SHOP FOR RENT, by a rusted "for rent" sign posted in front of a charming old house. She later used her fond memories from family camping trips for her next novel, JUST FLIRT, and now, she can honestly say that writing is a thousand times more rewarding than being a candy cane.
