About the Author

Laura Roberts can leg-press an average-sized sumo wrestler, has written an entire novel in just three days, and is the founding editor of Black Heart Magazine. She also offers affordable editing services for authors and publishes books that press buttons at Buttontapper Press. She currently lives in an Apocalypse-proof bunker in sunny SoCal with her artist husband and their literary kitties, and can be found on Twitter @originaloflaura.

Blurring the lines between fact and fiction, Laura has penned both traditionally and independently published books, including the alphabetical travel guides Montreal from A to Z and San Diego from A to Z, the offbeat writing guides NaNoWriMo: A Cheater's Guide and Confessions of a 3-Day Novelist, the satirical adventure tale Ninjas of the 512, and several YA career guides for ReferencePoint Press. She has also contributed shorter works to the following anthologies: SDW/EG's 5th edition of The Guilded Pen; The Secret Lives of Writers; Stardust, Always; Book Lovers: Sexy Stories from Under the Covers; and Ironology 2014: The Iron Writer Championship Series. In addition to her writings, Laura is also the editor of the poetry collection Haiku for Lovers, and the anthology Everything I Need to Know About Love I Learned from Pop Songs.
