Laura Lyndhurst was born and grew up in North London, England, before marrying and travelling with her husband in the course of his career.
When settled back in the UK she became a mature student and gained Bachelor's and Master's degrees in English and Literature before training and working as a teacher.
She started writing in the last few years in the peace and quiet of rural Lincolnshire, and published her debut novel, Fairytales Don't Come True, in May 2020. This book forms the first of a trilogy, Criminal Conversation, of which the second is Degenerate, Regenerate and All That We Are Heir To the third. Innocent, Guilty, the first of another trilogy, continues the story told in these three books and leads on to The Future of Our House, which is followed by Uphill, Downhill, Over, Out as the sixth and final book to end the series.
Laura also developed a taste for psychological suspense, which led to the writing and publication of You Know What You Did, to which What Else Did You Do? is the sequel.
Laura has also published four small books of poems, October Poems, Thanksgiving Poems and Prose Pieces, Poet-Pourri and Social Climbing and Other Poems.

I wasn't sure if I'd continue to write poetry after I'd published October Poems and Thanksgiving Poems and Prose Pieces in quick succession. Writing my psychological suspense thriller You Know What You Did took over, the idea having come to me while I was writing the poems and needing attention therefore when I'd finished publishing the poetry. When that was also sent on its way into the public domain I had to get back to my Criminal Conversation trilogy, finishing and publishing Degenerate, Regenerate in January 2021 and moving on immediately to All That We Are Heir To in the face of wishes expressed by readers of the first two books to know what happened next.
I'd been writing a few poems in the background whilst writing those books, as well as beginning a couple of new psychological thrillers, but poem ideas were coming to me all the time, helped in no small measure by some prompts supplied once again by Nancy Bonnington for both poetry and prose. I therefore felt it expedient to finish and publish this new set of poems, interspersed with some pieces of prose, and Poet-Pourri is the result. Whilst finishing it I had the good fortune to encounter and form a friendship with the author Stephenson Holt, who read and enjoyed my books, including the poetry; he therefore became the natural choice to beta read Poet-Pourri, and I once again acknowledge his kind assistance and advice.
The poems and prose are, as usual, a mixture of humorous and serious, touching upon social issues on both the darker and the lighter side of life. There's little else to say, except thank you for reading and I hope that you'll enjoy them.
