Bob and Lauran are having the time of their lives now, loving life to the fullest and treasuring every day together. Their family of five now has shrunk to three. Alas, their boys have grown up and live away at college. More times than they can count in the last few years, they've caught themselves asking, "Where has the time gone?" Gone, perhaps, but never forgotten.
Lauran is a freelance writer as well as a part time writing instructor at the Adult Learning Center in Virginia Beach. Currently, she's teaching 4 classes (3 sections of creative writing and 1 section of a self-editing.) Some of her non-fiction has appeared in The Virginian Pilot as well as other southeastern regional paper publications. Door to Satori, a 2000 word short story, appeared in the Spring 2002, Premiere issue of Dogeared Magazine, and Winter Song, an experimental literary Flash, is slated for publication in the Winter 2002 edition of Atomicpetals. Lauran has children's fiction forthcoming (2003) in print in Cricket Magazine as well as other mainstream pieces in various literary reviews and E-zines. She moderates a community writer's workshop. Her three novels-- Demon's Door, Obsession, and They Walk Among Us-- have been placed with a literary agent and now await publication.
Bob, an active duty naval officer for the last twenty-one years, anticipates retiring from the Navy and joining the civilian workforce in 2003. Meanwhile, he's up to his blue eyes in work, and when he's not doing that, he's coaching soccer and loving every second of it!
