Autorenporträt
L. Price was born and raised in the Ozark Mountains of Missouri during the great depression. In early childhood her love of storytelling was nurtured through the telling and retelling of family history, including many incidents of the civil war era. When she reached her teen years she began writing poetry, some of which was published. By the time she married and began having children, she started writing down the old stories to pass on to her children and grandchildren. In the 1980's she studied writing at a local college and attended seminars. After entering a competition at a Southeast Missouri writer's conference and winning awards in the categories she entered, she was hooked. Shortly after that she began seriously working on her first novel that became 'Taste of Ashes. She still lives in the Ozarks with her husband Charlie and one son Jon. Nearby are her other sons and their families. "I am very blessed." she says.
