Getting to Know Me
puppyloves.jpg

Hi, my name is Laura Chipman.  I live in the wet and busy Seattle area in Washington where I currently nanny my young nephew and attend Graduate school to optain my Master's in Library Science.  DragonSpeaker is my first completed book, but I hope to publish many more in the years to come.
 
I attended college at Southern Oregon State College in Ashland, OR.  Now it is known as Southern Oregon University.  I loved English and writing even then, but hadn't really thought that I would ever write a book.  My major was English, the writing option, and I minored in Computer Information Sciences.
 
Also, I am a graduate of The Institute of Children’s Literature, having completed two of their offered courses - Writing for Children and Teenagers and Beyond the Basics: Creating and Selling Short Stories and Articles.
 
My short story, Adjusting, won First Place in my high school’s publication Inside/Out, and my poetry has been published in the Southern Oregon University publications West Wind Review and Moving Beyond Walls.
 
I also dabble in original short stories and Inuyasha fanfiction.  Links are provided on the Favorite Links page.  In the fandom I am known as The Literary Dragon.
