About the Author

Laurie Penner started her first novel at the age of fourteen but she's had to work much harder learning to write fiction than non-fiction. Her primary writing outlet is her own publication of twenty-five years, The Wilderness Cry, a free collection of true Christian testimonies published 2-3 times a year. Although writing is what she enjoys most, Laurie also enjoys editing, gardening, and just being outside in the mountain air where she lives in Siskiyou County, California.
