Laura Jensen Walker is the author of several books, including the Lefty nominated historical fiction, DEATH OF A FLYING NIGHTINGALE, called "riveting and affecting" by NYT bestselling author Susan Elia MacNeal.
Laura's second historical, THE POSTMISTRESS OF PUDDLINGTON, also set in WWII England, has been called "a must read for fans of THE GUERNSEY LITERARY AND POTATO PEEL PIE SOCIETY," and releases in August 2026.
THE PILGRIMAGE OF PRIMROSE HONEYCHURCH, Laura's women's fiction debut about a solitary curmudgeonly senior who prefers books to people and sets off on a literary pilgrimage to "the Town of Books" in Wales, releases in October 2026. "A heartfelt exploration of courage, reinvention, and the quiet bravery it takes to choose a different life." -Emily Colin, NYT bestselling author of THE MEMORY THIEF.
Laura is also the author of several fun mysteries, including the Agatha-nominated MURDER MOST SWEET, and 2006's THE ALPHABET SLEUTHS. (Think The Golden Girls meets The Thursday Murder Club.)
If you need a book to get you into the holiday spirit, All the Cozy Christmas Feels by Laura Jensen Walker is just the thing. It's not a Hallmark story or a holiday mystery, but rather the author's entertaining thoughts and anecdotes about how to enjoy Christmas, regardless of your taste and situation and based on her own experiences and those of her friends.
It's only 159 pages, but it is chockful of recommendations and suggestions about topics such as festive food (with a few recipes), decorations, celebrations, gifts (homemade or not), inspiring and fun events to explore, and old and new traditions, There are wonderful chapters on favorite Christmas music and Christmas movies (not just lists, but additional information you may not know). And I especially enjoyed interesting and creative chapters such as Rent-a-Kid and Other Ways to Make the Yuletide Bright, What Happens When You Can't Go Home for Christmas, and Taking the Bah Out of Humbug.
Laura's multitalented husband, "Mr. Christmas," is a big part of the book. He is responsible for the recipes, the crafty suggestions, and more, based on a lifetime of celebrating Christmas with his wife. Laura's unique voice rings out throughout the book, making it both charming and hilarious. She is an enthusiastic speaker and has two dozen other books of different genres to her credit. I highly recommend it!
