Laura Sanchez

Laura Sanchez grew up in a house where William Faulkner spent his Terrible Twos, but her preferred youthful reading was her older brothers science-fiction paperbacks. She has lived most of her life in New Mexico, acquiring a formal education in art and art history and a far wider informal education. Next came pursuing various jobs that involved graphics and writing. Her non-fiction reporting includes politics, books, environmental issues, computer graphics, and architecture, but all the while she worked on learning to write novels she would actually like to read.

Her speculative fiction stories have appeared in Daily Science Fiction, NewMyths.com, and Every Day Fiction. Previous novels include the New Mexico mystery Killer Miracle and the YA novel Freaking Green, which won the 2014 New Mexico Press Women's Zia Award and the 2014 Green Book Festival Award. She has recently returned to her first literary love--science-fiction--with Alien Crossings.
