Author Biography

Lauryn Walton is a young woman who enjoys bouncing between houses in Wisconsin and Texas with her flurfy service sidekick--who may believe she is around to cater to his desires for snuggles and play when he isn't her additional 4 feet to independence. An avid reader and writer, stories took her mind captive long before she was born, and she hopes she's never rescued. Lauryn runs the blog Fields of Favor, where she catalogues her adventures in the service dog lifestyle, as well as she, sells handmade crochet items--because life is too short to do nothing on a road trip or watching TV.
