About the Author...At the age of six, Laurie Moore wrote her first novel in orange Crayola on blue construction paper and gave the mystery-horror hybrid to her father for his birthday. This fifth generation Texan was reared in South Texas and graduated from The University of Texas at Austin with a B.A. degree. At her parents' urging to become a Spanish teacher, she rebelled and joined the police department. For six years, she worked street patrol and criminal investigations until the brass decided to promote her to the rank of sergeant (their way of getting a maverick officer to comply with standard operating procedures). Bad move.

She later worked as a DA Investigator in Austin, Lockhart, and San Antonio before moving to Fort Worth to attend law school (kicking and screaming).

CONSTABLE'S RUN, THE LADY GODIVA MURDER and CONSTABLE'S APPREHENSION are her first three novels. THE WILD ORCHID SOCIETY debuts spring 2004 and CONSTABLE’S WEDDING is due October 2005.

Laurie holds an active police commission. She is currently a reserve deputy constable in Tarrant County, Texas and maintains a thriving law office in the Cultural District of Fort Worth (a.k.a. Cowtown & The Panther City).

She has a daughter, a destructive Siamese named Julius Caesar, and a sneaky Welsh Corgi. Laurie serves on the board of the DFW Writers’ Workshop in Euless TX.
