About the Author

What can be said about Laura Ann Sullivan that hasn't already been said? Oh, that's right, nothing has been said yet because she is a first time author. It's a blank sheet of paper, a clean slate, plenty of room to make up lies and create a person who we all want to know and love. She is every color of the rainbow. She can be dark and moody, which is when she writes her poetry tgat never sees the light of day, or quick-witted and funny, but that is usually when she is on a roll. Her attention span is short unless you tell her something that you don't want her to remember, then she never forgets and is quick to remind you. But in all, she is a quiet and private person. She is an observer of life. She takes it all in and catalogues it for future reference. Her writing, you say? True, The Portrait is her first novel, but hardly her first endeavor in writing. She has always had a passion for writing, and a wealth of ideas to pull from. Her brain is nonstop and she sees story potential in everyday life. In fact, she is half way through her second novel and developing a third.
