LAURA HEDGECOCK is passionate about telling stories and connecting with others. She comes by that passion honestly; her grandmother, Hazel Crymes, wrote throughout her life. However, her grandmother wrote in secret; Laura believes in sharing.

When she’s not writing, Mrs. Hedgecock enjoys spending time with her husband and two nearly grown sons (and her Springer spaniel), playing soccer, nature photography, and finding her roots. Learn more about Laura at LauraHedgecock.com.
