Laura Wynkoop lives in the foothills of Northern Colorado. Her love of writing began in elementary school where she learned to craft elaborate stories and poems. After graduating from college, she became a teacher, but never gave up her desire to share her words with the world. She began writing for publication in 2004 and has sold poetry, stories, articles, puzzles, and crafts to a variety of children's magazines. She has also created numerous lessons and activities for Gryphon House, Inc. AN EYEBALL IN MY GARDEN, a poetry anthology that she wrote with her critique group, is her first book.
