About

Growing up as a military kid, Laura Houston attended seven schools on three continents. Her work aims to bridge the gap between military and civilian culture. Hopefully it also encourages readers to head outside. Laura resides in Washington DC, where you can find her searching for interesting insects, reading with her kiddos, or reheating her coffee. 

Laura holds an MFA in Writing for Children from Simmons University and a BA in English from the College of William & Mary. She spent the years between school working in fashion at ELLE and GLAMOUR magazines.
