Novelist Laurie Scott has always had a creative drive that compelled her to pursue many interests. Writing and painting are high on that list. Recognizing the importance of establishing a secure future, she chose to earn a degree in Education and spent the next thirty-two years enjoying a busy and rewarding career as a teacher. Following her retirement she turned more of her attention to the goals that had been sidelined for so long.
