A former dancer and physical therapist assistant,
Laurie was born and raised in King George, Virginia, but now lives in the cold northlands of the Poconos, Pennsylvania. When she’s not chasing after her four children, you can find her snuggled on the couch with her corgi, Stuart, a good book, and a cup of Earl Grey, hot.
Once upon a time,
Many (well, not that many) years ago, a little girl with terrible handwriting had an idea for a story. She sat down to write… And she never stopped. Now a published author of essays, short stories and novels about friendship, faith, loss and above all love, Laurie Batzel continues to write… Even though her handwriting is still deeply abysmal.

• My Beautiful Four Two-Legged Children
• Ballet, Broadway and all things British

A stunning story of hardship and heartbreak, Batzel’s writing is lush and lively, pulling you instantly into another time as she weaves a powerful tale of friendship, self-discovery, and love.”
