About the author

Laurie Lewis

<p>Laurie (L.C.) Lewis is a multiple-award-winning novelist of inspirational fiction. She's also a weather-whiner who loves God, family, crabs, nesting boxes, twinkle lights, sappy movies, and the sea. It's documented that she's craft-challenged and particularly lethal with a glue gun, so she set her creative juices on writing, which was less likely to burn her fingers.<br/><br/>Born in Baltimore, Laurie will always be a Marylander at heart, but a recent move to a house overlooking Utah Lake makes Utah her new love. Her Maryland years, spent within the exciting and history-rich corridor between Philadelphia, Baltimore, and D.C., made her a politics and history junkie. During a seven-year stint as a science-education facilitator, Laurie honed her research skills, eventually turning to writing full time. Laurie writes in multiple genres, penning her women's fiction and romance novels as Laurie Lewis, and her historical fiction novels as L.C. Lewis.<br/><br/>Laurie has authored seventeen published novels. "The Letter Carrier," Laurie's fourteenth published novel, was the winner of The 2023 Whitney Awards for both "Novel of the Year," and "Best General Fiction, Adult Category." Th book also won the Readers' Favorite Gold Medallion for Best Inspirational Fiction, 2023.<br/><br/>She's also a RONE Award Winner (The Dragons of Alsace Farm) and was twice named a New Apple Literary Award winner in 2017 (The Dragons of Alsace Farm) and in 2018, winning Best New Fiction (Love on a Limb). She is also a BRAGG Medallion honoree, and she was twice named a Whitney Awards and USA Best Books Awards finalist.<br/><br/>Laurie loves to hear from readers, and she invites you to join her VIP Readers' Club or contact her at any of these locations.<br/><br/>VIP Readers' Club https://www.laurielclewis.com/newsletter<br/><br/>Website www.laurielclewis.com<br/><br/>Twitter https://twitter.com/laurielclewis<br/><br/>Goodreads https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/1743696.Laurie_L_C_Lewis<br/><br/>Facebook https://www.facebook.com/LaurieLCLewis/<br/><br/>Instagram https://www.instagram.com/laurielclewis/<br/><br/>BookBub https://www.bookbub.com/profile/laurie-lewis</p>
