About

I love fun hats and my Nikon D70.

I’m a coffee-drinking novelist, reader and knitter.

In LOST NOTES, my work-in-progress, a Frenchman with a weak constitution travels to New York to save his father’s music box business and, instead of finding the famous composer he’s seeking, ends up owing his life–and a good sum of money–to a brothel madam.

BODY COPY, complete at 105,000 words, features Megan Trumball, a young, idealistic newspaper reporter, who moves to a small town on the Oregon coast after keeping her roommate’s secret results in the girl’s death.

My website is here. You can find me on Google+ here. And if you still want to know more, novelist and editor Sarah Cypher interviewed me here. Questions or suggestions? You can reach me at laurastanfill at hotmail dot com.
