Laura is mentioned in a book by Edward Allan Faine, ”The Best Gig in Town. Jazz Artists at The White House.” in which the author writes about the late jazz pianist, Billy Taylor. Laura was the lyricist for one of Taylor's compositions. In addition to being performed at The White House,
"A Stable Down the Road" was included on David Frost ‘s Christmas album and on a Christmas Album recorded by the U.S. Army Chorus.
Laura's retelling of "The Twelve Dancing Princesses" was featured on a radio broadcast of The Apple Seed from Brigham Young University. It is archived at BYU’s SiriusXM radio channel 143, and can be accessed online: www.byuradio.org/appleseed.
Laura's poetry chapbooks, published by RAPHAEL PRESS are now available online through PayPal or directly from the author.
