Laura Caldwell, who lives in Chicago with her husband, left a successful career as a medical malpractice trial attorney and a partner at a law firm to follow her dreams of becoming a novelist. In the span of 18 months, she sold four chick-lit novels to Red Dress Ink and three suspense novels to MIRA Books. In discussing her drastic profession change, Laura says, "I liked the practice of law, but I love writing. I can’t even call it work."

In addition to her now-successful writing career Laura does have two other jobs. She’s an adjunct professor of law at her alma mater, Loyola University Chicago School of Law, where she teaches advanced legal writing. Laura is also a writer and contributing editor for Lake Magazine, a lifestyles publication based in the Indiana/Michigan area where Laura has a second home. Her freelance magazine work has been published in Woman’s Own, The Young Lawyer, Australia Woman’s Weekly and many other magazines. Her work can also be seen in the upcoming Flirting with Pride & Prejudice (BenBella Books, September 2005) and Girl’s Night In II (Red Dress Ink, June 2006).
