Laura grew up with a love of reading and turned that into a love of writing, becoming an award-winning romance author within the first year of being published. She's joined the ranks of best-selling author with her story's inclusion in the Billion Dollar Love anthology from Evernight Publishing as well as her story Love and Honor in the limited-release 1001 Dark Nights Short Story Anthology 2020.
After serving in the U.S. Army, where she met her husband, she became a dental hygienist, and after twenty-one years, she's semi-retired and able to concentrate more on family and writing. She and her husband have had the pleasure of raising two wonderful sons and are proud grandparents of a precious grandson.
Growing up in Florida, she migrated west to Idaho, and now she and her family reside in Washington State. Traveling is still a dream she and her husband hope to pursue, not only throughout the U.S., but Scotland, New Zealand, and Fiji as well!
When not writing or reading, she's listening to her favorite authors on audio while putting her treadmill and elliptical to good use. Authors such as Donna Grant, Anna Durand, Nora Roberts, Toni Anderson, Rachel Grant, and... well, you can see more with her recommendations at BookBub and Goodreads.
Laura writes what she enjoys reading: stories that range from heart-warming to body-blushing romance; filled with emotion, suspense, humor, and contemporary issues. She loves engaging with readers and writers alike, and encourages you to head over to her contact page where you can choose your favorite way to follow her.

For Immediate Release:
March 2021:
Laura M. Baird of Longview, WA, was named as one of 116 emerging writers and authors worldwide to be included in the Who’s Who of Emerging Writers, 2020, released at Amazon.

Laura has had over twenty published romances, including The Soldier’s Final Mission, a military romance in which all sales go to Soldiers’ Angels, an organization benefiting deployed military, their families, and veterans. Laura and her husband are veterans and believe in their cause.
A short story of Laura’s was also selected from hundreds of international submissions to be included in Happy Holidays – an anthology of short stories, published by Kwarts Publishers out of South Africa. All sales from this book on Amazon support The World Literacy Foundation.
