I'm Laura and I own a children's party business in Tampa Florida. I really love Tampa, it's a great city to live in and to visit. I own a business that specializes in theme parties for kids, princess tea parties, spas for girls and lots of other themes. I'm married and homeschool my 15 year old son. I'm was a teacher, before my son was born and currently teach homeschool classes.

My newest passion is writing. I'm currently writing novels for kids ages 10-13 and a YA novel. I am pre-published, also known as not yet published. I'm learning the craft of writing and working on my books.

My Pen name is Odessa Quinn

I am also getting into whisicsl doodle art and have been taking classes online with Joanne sharpe through Whimspirations. I am having a blast!

I like to keep busy!! And love to do crafts, cook, make art journals and watercolor doodles, plan parties and get mail!

Not religous, at least in the conventional sense, more Earth based, but we do celebrate secular Christmas and the quarterly holidays.

My family likes to play Role Playing Games, like D&D. We host a homeschool D&D group for my son and his friends.

I also like to write mystery game and interactive stories for my party business.
