Welcome!
My main interests are in writing about the stories lesser told–the stories of humanity and experiences that connect us all. I also have a deep interest in helping others achieve their writing goals. As an instructor at both Miami University and at the Oxford Community Arts Center, and with my book coaching clients, my aim is to always help navigate the craft of writing with others while keeping in mind their vision for their work.

Published Memoirist
Unsolicited Press
Mosaic by Laura Gaddis is a poignant memoir that chronicles the author’s experiences with multiple miscarriages, grief, and motherhood. After longing to become parents, Laura and her husband Jason finally welcomed a baby, but their little girl, Sophia, did not have the chance to live. Overwhelmed by grief, guilt, and confusion, the couple attended group therapy, seeking answers to what went wrong. Just like a mosaic, Laura Gaddis’s story of motherhood consists of multiple pieces—some dark and others beautiful—but all intricately connected. Throughout her memoir, she emphasizes the importance of support, love, sensitivity, and understanding during difficult times. This message of compassion and encouragement is vital in promoting healing. I highly recommend Mosaic to anyone navigating the complexities of grief, motherhood, and resilience. This is a powerful and inspiring read.– Five Star Review by Doreen Chombu from Readers’ Favorite
Deftly written, emotionally engaging, informative, insightful, inspiring, “Mosaic” by Laura Gaddis is one of those memoirs that will linger in the mind and memory of the reader long after the book has been finished and set back upon the shelf. —Midwest Book Review
