Crime and Poetry by Amanda Flower

"Laura is one of my all-time favorite editors whom I've worked with throughout my career.

She is thoughtful, kind, and pushed me to be a better writer."

— Amanda Flower
USA Today Bestselling Author

“Laura taught me to write cozy mysteries. She brought me on board to write the Lighthouse Library series (as Eva Gates) and stepped me through the process, guiding, nudging, and occasionally correcting me toward producing what became a bestselling novel.

I’m now writing four different cozy series for three different publishers, and I often will read over something I wrote, and think ‘what would Laura say about this?’ Because I started my career writing psychological suspense and police procedurals, turning to cozies was a big step and I couldn’t have done it effectively without Laura’s guidance.”
