Laurie was the proud recipient of the 2009 Margaret A. Edwards Award given by YALSA division of the American Library Association for her 'significant and lasting contribution to young adult literature'.
Mother of four and wife of one, Laurie lives in Northern New York, where she likes to watch the snow fall as she writes.
