Join local author, Laura Frost, as she shares her journey from wildlife biologist to RCMP spouse to published author. Laura will dive into the emotional upheaval that propelled her into short story and novel writing, and the tenacity it took to secure a publisher for her first book.
Laura’s debut novel, Seeking Sasha, released with Willow River Press this past February, has captured the attention of readers across the globe. A character-driven psychological suspense, Seeking Sasha has been devoured by book clubs, where every reader peels apart layers of the novel with their own lens, leading to intense and often paradoxical conversations. Although a fictional story, elements of Laura’s life experiences are tucked between the pages, creating an authentic and intense read.
With over a dozen short stories published in various literary journals and collections, and three other novels in various stages of revisions, Laura is a versatile writer who loves to share the joy of storytelling and connecting with readers from all walks of life.
