Laurie Gifford Adams grew up on a dairy farm in the scenic Finger Lakes of New York and has been writing stories since she was a horse-loving teen. A former middle school English teacher and a graduate of Keuka College, she now lives on a 33-acre farm with her husband, horses, and cats. When she’s not writing fiction inspired by small-town life, she works in alumni relations and shares her love of the Finger Lakes through freelance travel writing.
