Laura Jo Brunson is a writer whose passion for storytelling began with a single book: To Kill a Mockingbird. That one unforgettable read set her on a journey that has included everything from school assignments to the thrill of crafting complex mysteries.

With an MFA in Creative Writing from the University of California, Riverside, Laura has spent her career honing her craft, blending her journalistic roots with a deep love for fiction. Her pen has been busy over the years as she’s contributed news articles, co-authored Legendary Locals of Jacksonville with her daughter Kendall, and even written poetry under the pen name L.J. Provost.

Laura’s unique voice shines in her Cozy Mysteries, a series that blends her love for intrigue with the unpredictable chaos of natural disasters. When she’s not working on her novels, Laura freelances as a communications contractor for a Florida-based health insurance company, but it’s her personal projects that truly feed her soul.

From earning a Silver Anvil in public relations to serving as a FEMA Reservist, Laura’s diverse background informs her storytelling in ways that surprise and delight readers. Whether she’s weaving murder mysteries or exploring the tumultuous world of growing up in the South during the 1970s, Laura’s work always keeps readers guessing. And rest assured, her pen and paper are never far from reach.

Fun Fact: You can find her burning up the keys, creating compelling plots that keep readers on the edge of their seats, all while being a proud member of Sisters in Crime and the National League of American Pen Women.

The mystery is just getting started...
