✨Meet Author Laura Jo Brunson ✨
For Laura, it all began with one unforgettable book—To Kill a Mockingbird. That spark of inspiration grew into a lifelong passion for storytelling that has taken her from school essays to award-winning public relations, journalism, poetry, and now, captivating Cozy Mysteries.
With an MFA in Creative Writing from UC Riverside, Laura blends her journalistic roots with her love of fiction. Over the years, she’s co-authored Legendary Locals of Jacksonville with her daughter Kendall, published poetry as L.J. Provost, and freelanced in communications—all while crafting mysteries full of twists, turns, and even natural disasters.
Her diverse background—earning a Silver Anvil in PR, serving as a FEMA Reservist, and exploring Southern life in the 1970s—infuses her writing with unique depth and intrigue.
Fun Fact: Laura is a proud member of Sisters in Crime and the National League of American Pen Women. And yes—her pen and paper are always within reach.
