LAURA ANNE EWALD is a former librarian turned author and public speaker. An eclectic scholar with degrees in classical studies, drama, library science, and organizational communication, Laura brings this diverse background and a love of reading to her storytelling, which might take the form of a novel, an e-book, a short story, a play, or a puppet show. A recent happy transplant to the "Deep South," she shares her southern Mississippi home with her elderly parents and an ever-changing assortment of adopted stray cats.
