More About the Author

I'm a New England girl through and through. Born and raised here, and my husband and I still live in our hometown.

We have 2 cats, Sophie and Ollie, whose names were freely used in "Are You Gonna Eat That Banana?"

"Banana" is my first novel and the result of a 30 day writing spree known as NANOWRIMO, or National Novel Writing Month. More time was spent editing, and I am proud to say that I did all of the formatting work alone and with the tools provided for free by Create Space.

Reading is my first love, but writing for that month was really fun too! I read about 200-300 books a year.

In my previous incarnations I've worked as an Insurance Clerk, a Products Review Assistant for a computer magazine, office staff at a non-profit agency, and now work as a book reviewer for MyShelf and a writer for Helium.

Married for 24 years now, Mike and I are hoping for at least another 24!

5.0 out of 5 stars High 5, May 8, 2009
This review is from: Are You Gonna Eat That Banana?: An Improbable Tale (Paperback)
Loved the book. The beignning had me confused with all the goings on, but at the same time worked well with my ADD! I got so excited when all the things started to make sense and the story came together. You can't help but love the characters. The more I read, the more everthing came together. Would love to read more with these characters! Hope Laura writes more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightfully Clever and Funny!, April 20, 2009
This review is from: Are You Gonna Eat That Banana?: An Improbable Tale (Paperback)
Kudos to Laura Hinds for her book debut! "Are You Gonna Eat That Banana?" is a wonderful, fun read, complete with a cast of quirky, lovable characters. Once I started reading this book, I was unable to put it down. Ms. Hinds combines just the right amount of imagination and whimsy along with her genuine sense of humor, which prevails throughout the book. A perfect book for all seasons, whether you take it to the beach with you in the summer or curl up with it in front of the fireplace in the winter! I highly recommend "Are You Gonna Eat That Banana?" and am eagerly awaiting the sequel!

4.0 out of 5 stars A Real LOL Read!, March 2, 2009
This review is from: Are You Gonna Eat That Banana?: An Improbable Tale (Paperback)
Laura Hinds first book is "ripe" (pun intended) with fanciful, endearing characters that will have you wishing that they were your neighbors and friends.
From odd methods of transport to magical gnomes to eerily intelligent household pets, this story will take your imagination to some pretty fun places! I was hooked on page one and loved how the main character maintained her sense of humor throughout some fairly zany adventures. Very American Bridget Jones. I was laughing out loud throughout most of the book.
Don't be surprised if you have the urge to buy some bananas! Truly tasty and delighful!
