Laura Bendoly

I am actively researching two new books -- one, an adventure of a Romani (Gypsy) family in the Midwest and, two, an intergenerational saga about four women, all family members on my mother's British side.

Biography

I have been a reader all my life and a writer since college. I write historic, Gothic, urban fantasy, retold fairy tale, and even a little speculative fiction. My second great love is photography, and I go almost everywhere with my Canon and three lenses. I live with my family and Artemis, the cat, in Ohio.
