Laurie Alberswerth
Laurie Alberswerth was certain “ENG” stood for English, not Engineering, when she checked the box for a college major. Funny story. Yet somehow, the writing bug survived four years of heat transfer and machine design, followed by a two-decade career as a Mechanical Stress Analyst.
That bug, like the cockroach, could survive a nuclear war.
A St. Louis native, the days and nights spent at Missouri state parks were fuel to the campfire when setting Jude and Audie West on their mystery-solving journey. And who knew the family-tree workbook purchased for her husband on their first anniversary (what else does one do for a “paper” gift?) would lead to so much time spent in libraries and courthouses, fighting with more microfilm than all the spies at MI6?
Laurie’s own heritage—Lithuanian, Slovakian, and German—is a source of deep-rooted traditions and soul-satisfying (if not heart-healthy) food. She may or may not have two great-great-grandmothers who may or may not have independently hidden the body of a husband in the dirt floor of a basement.
But it’s okay. They were bad guys
