Laura Browning graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in Journalism after her father suggested Journalism might be a steadier income than trying to write romance for a living. She has worked in television markets in Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, and North Carolina. In 2001, she won a Regional Emmy for her work writing and producing.
In 2005, she took on a new challenge, teaching English at the middle and high school level. She now holds a master's degree in education as a reading specialist. After twenty-two years in education, she is happily "retired" to her small farm near Danville, Virginia.
Her latest ventures, in addition to writing, include making pottery and starting a greenhouse business.
