While spending a rainy afternoon at a friend's house as a child, Laura Bradford fell in love with writing over a stack of blank paper, a box of crayons, and a freshly sharpened number-two pencil. Today, Laura is the USA Today bestselling author of many cozy mystery series. She has also penned four Amish-based women's fiction novels set in and around Lancaster, Pennsylvania. When she's not writing, Laura loves to bake, travel, and advocate for those living with multiple sclerosis. She lives in Greenwod, South Carolina.
