Laura Callan is pursuing her life-long dream to write children's books, which are both educational and fun. Always looking for ways to spend quality time with her three grandchildren, she was inspired to write a book about cooking. Her hope is that writing from personal experiences will appeal to both adults and children alike. Originally from Queens, New York, she now lives on Long Island with her husband and three Greyhounds. She is a graduate of St. John's University, N.Y., with a B.S. in Communication Arts.
