About the author
Laura Jensen Walker
38 books211 followersAward-winning author Laura Jensen Walker has written several books, including the Lefty nominated historical fiction, DEATH OF A FLYING NIGHTINGALE. Dubbed "riveting and affecting" by NYT bestselling author Susan Elia MacNeal, this book spotlights a group of real-life overlooked women heroes--the Flying Nightingales--from WWII. An Air Force veteran formerly stationed in the UK, Laura had the great honor of interviewing the last living Flying Nightingale, before she passed.
Bibliophile Laura fell in love with mysteries after reading Trixie Belden in the fourth grade, Her cozy mystery debut, MURDER MOST SWEET (2020) was nominated for an Agatha Award, and her next cozy, THE ALPHABET SLEUTHS, releases in Feb. 2026. Publishers Weekly says about the book: "Walker's feisty, funny, and fully realized seniors easily sit beside the casts of THE THURSDAY MURDER CLUB and THE MARLOW MURDER CLUB in the coy pantheon. Readers will be charmed."
THE POSTMISTRESS OF PUDDLINGTON, Laura's second historical novel, features women on the home front in WWII England and releases in August 2026. She is currently at work on a women's fiction novel (aka book club fiction.)
Laura flew a typewriter across Europe in Uncle Sam's Air Force in her twenties, and lived in England for three years where she became a lifelong, tea-loving Anglophile. Shenow lives in Northern California with her Renaissance-man husband and their two rescue pups.

It wasn't a "bad" book... I just couldn't relate to much of it. The author is referred to as a "humorist" and I probably had high hopes. It wasn't the laugh-out-loud read I had expected. But I am Canadian, so to be polite I finished it. Hey, it counts on Goodreads!

This is a peek inside the life of a married couple who, while unique, are every man and every woman. the author shares humorous events from her marriage and that of her friends and family. You will see yourself and your spouse in these pages. It is uncanny how alike we can all be!
Happily ever after . . .
Have you ever been puzzled by your husband's quirky habits? Ever wondered why he's so into sports? And why can't he clean up the kitchen after he makes a snack?
He can't help it. He's from a different planet, remember? And so are you. If you've ever wondered how the sexes managed to get through it all, you've picked up the right book.
In A Kiss is Still a Kiss, popular author and humorist Laura Jensen Walker takes the "men and women are from different planets" idea and spins it into a unique blend of hang-in-there-anyway marriage tales from her own life as well as the lives of others. Laura's "been there, done that" advice and delightful stories will encourage you , make you laugh, and give you a perfect way to celebrate those moments that make marriage last.
"Simple and down to earth. This book is quite pleasurable. Much like the subject it addresses." — Sue Buchanan, author , speaker, humorist
"Laura is a complex mix of mirth, lunacy, and ridiculous frivolity tempered by depth, insight, and suffereing. But this madcap woman has something to teach us about life, love, and hanging wallpaper as a couple. Hang on for a wild ride." — Dave Meurer, author, Good Spousekeeping

This is a nonfiction book by Laura Jensen Walker called A Kiss is Still a Kiss: Celebrating the Moments That Make Marriage Last. It started off slow, as she tries to be funny but overdoes it a bit (I don't think I LOL'd even once). But as you get farther into the book, the advice becomes more tangible and meaningful. Though there wasn't any one part that really stuck out at me, I think her numerous examples of marriage relationships among friends, family, and acquaintances are encouraging and uplifting.
