ⓘ About Laura Kinsale

Laura Kinsale is a New York Times bestselling author, and winner of the book of the year award by Romance Writers of America. After working for six years as a geologist, Laura Kinsale eventually decided to become a romance writer. While serving as a geologist, Laura Kinsale used to wake up in the middle of the night and then drive more than 100 miles across west Texas, and give instructions to men who were covered in oil. However, it did not take long before Laura Kinsale decided that being a geologist was not her career path. Thus, she gave up her career as a geologist and decided to sit on chair more than 12 hours in a day, trying to create characters and an interesting storyline.
