Laura is a feminist and lover of ginger hair. A resident of a shabby quarter of Brighton, she likes to write romantic stories which provide food for thought. Her novels are That Night In New York , Crossing the Line, Skin Deep, Redemption Song and The Family Line . Crossing the Line was a Welsh Books Council book of the month and Skin Deep was longlisted for Not the Booker Prize.
Her latest, That Night In New York is a love story set in two of the most iconic cities in the world. It follows agony aunt and resolute singleton Steph and lonely architect Harry who first meet in a city-wide blackout.
