AKES HAS A
charming way of making her novels come to life without being over the top,” writes
Romantic Times
of best-selling, award-winning author Laurie Alice Eakes. Since she lay in bed as a child telling herself stories, she has fulfilled her dream of becoming a published author, with a degree in English and French from Asbury University and a master’s degree in writing fiction from Seton Hill University contributing to her career path. Now she has nearly two dozen books in print.

After enough moves in the past six years to make U-Haul’s stock rise, she now lives in Houston, Texas. Although they haven’t been blessed with children—yet—they have sundry lovable dogs and cats. If the carpet is relatively free of animal fur, then she is
either frustrated with the current manuscript or brainstorming another, the only two times she genuinely enjoys housework.

Laurie Alice loves to hear from her readers.
