Laurie Frankel lives in Seattle where it's sometimes hard to find a day on which to take an author photo without an umbrella. Originally from Columbia, Maryland, she often fails to understand why it won't stop raining. Then it becomes summer in Seattle, and she remembers why she loves it. Her second novel, tentatively titled Goodbye For Now, has just sold domestically to Doubleday plus 14 foreign countries and counting! It is scheduled for an August 2012 release in the U.S. Laurie taught writing, literature, and gender studies at the college-level for many years. She roots for the Orioles and the Mariners (and thus is often very frustrated during baseball season). She makes good soup. She lives in the city with her wonderful husband, her wonderful kid, and her wonderful border collie.
