Laura E. Price was born in the fetid swampland of southwestern Florida; she escaped for a time to earn degrees in writing at the University of Evansville and the University of Louisiana, Lafayette (ironically, a college built around a literal swamp). After spending too much time influenced by mainstream literature (ew!), she began writing for herself and collected a nice number of story publications–she writes fantasy, horror, and the occasional bit of soft science fiction. She has long since retreated back to her ever-more-gothic home state, where she lives with her family in a house that is not (yet) haunted and tries to keep her website updated on the regular.
