about me

A book editor and writer with a background in Christian book publishing and online automotive media, I am now making the transition to more writing and have just completed two books: Ecofrugal Baby, a guide to saving 70% off baby's first year, and Aria's Dream, a spiritual literary novel about a young girl who can see the future through symbolic dreams. Thanks for visiting my page! Please drop me a note and say hi. I'd love to get to know you.

Ecofrugal Baby: How To Save 70....

Laura K. Cowan

Ecofrugal Baby teaches new parents how to save $7000, or 70%, off the average cost of baby's first year, using tips not found anywhere else.


Parents are often dismayed to discover that baby's first year costs an average of $10,000--not including daycare! But it doesn't have to, if you know how to find the right deals. Ecofrugal Baby teaches new parents how to save $7000, or 70%, off baby's first year, using modern money-saving tips not found anywhere else. This book skips the obvious garage sale and couponing tips and goes straight to the most efficient ways to save real money on quality baby gear, including how to save 77% off baby's toiletries, how to save 85% off organic baby food, and how to get baby's entire first-year wardrobe for FREE. With a baby gear buying checklist to help readers figure out what they need, a savings calculator to help readers track their savings, and cheat sheets at the end of each chapter so parents can go back for a quick refresher before going out on the baby gear hunt, Ecofrugal Baby will save new parents thousands of dollars, so they can put their hard-earned dollars in a college fund or save for a down payment instead of throwing their money after gear they will only use for one year.

Aria's Dream

Laura K. Cowan

A young girl discovers she can see the future through symbolic, sometimes frightening, dreams--and uncovers secrets that her church pastor would do anything to protect.


A chance encounter with a revival preacher leads a young girl into a symbolic world of dreams and visions that she soon discovers tell the future for her friends, her family, and her church pastor, who is hiding a secret he would do just about anything to protect. As she fights her way toward discovering if God is who she dares to hope he is, she must sacrifice her reputation, her friends, and her family's standing in the community. Is it worth it? Is she as crazy as they say she is? Or is she one of the only sane ones left? A story for anyone who feels alone in a crowd, for the truth-tellers, the dreamers and the deeply wounded, Aria's Dream is told against the backdrop of a shattering congregation, amidst whispers of scandal and the worst wound of all: the betrayal of the closest friends possible, who sometimes wake up to discover they don't know each other at all.

Thank you again, Suzie! :) I was thinking of writing Aria's Dream as a three-part series or three-part novel (it is complete but short at 20,000 words and leaves plenty of room for more adventures; it is a literal cliff hanger, lol, as she finishes the story jumping off a cliff), so there may be... view book
