Laurie joined Severn House in 2024. Armed with 12 years’ experience with Harlequin, she’s a Romance expert with a penchant for reading Crime, Mystery, Fantasy...you name it! As Senior Commissioning Editor, Laurie acquires a broad spectrum of genre fiction. Got something spooky, cosy or just unputdownable? Send it her way! At home, Laurie is a mum of twins – it’s chaos, but she loves it and is thankful for her hero/husband who saves her from being outnumbered! She also has a pristine white cat with one ear, loves to crochet (when the twins allow) and is powered by coffee.
