About the author

Laura J Whiskens

<p> Laura began writing as a hobby when she was still at school. Always very shy she never let a soul read any of her stories and sadly she has lost all of her old notebooks and discs from back then so can&#39;t salvage any of her younger self&#39;s work!</p> <p> In Autumn of 2012 Laura began thinking about a book which she tried hard to dismiss - after all it had been around a decade since she had last allowed herself write anything. But the idea would not go away and so Danny Boy was born.</p> <p> Apprehensively, she gave a copy to her parents to read - they were so encouraging that she found a way to publish it and got some fantastic 5* reviews. Since then she has published a further three short stories and two novellas.</p> <p> Laura is currently working on two novels and a new collection of short stories. Telling Tales and Pieces of Me are also available in paperback.</p>
