Author Bio
Laura Elizabeth has enjoyed a long career in business as well as a rich family life that, many years ago, took her to Daufuskie Island, South Carolina, for the first time. Together, the family embraced the wonder, the pull that they only found in this special place. They returned again and again to rediscover the island’s magic, to walk along its shores with their dogs, explore, treasure hunt and make family memories. As one of the Atlantic coastal islands, Daufuskie has been marked by centuries of American history and was made famous by novelist Pat Conroy's memoir The Water Is Wide in which he imagined the island in his unique way. From her years of family experiences on the island, Laura imagined Mongin Island as the home for her cozy series The Island Mysteries.
