Laura Schaefer is the author of The Teashop Girls (Simon & Schuster, Dec. 2008), a novel set in Madison, Wisconsin about three tweens and their beloved local teashop. Laura got her start as a contributor to the University of Wisconsin’s student paper, The Daily Cardinal as its book reviewer and literature page editor. She went on to write regularly for The Princeton Review, Match.com, and several curriculum publishers. Laura’s first book is entitled, Man with Farm Seeks Woman with Tractor (Thunder’s Mouth Press, 2005). It is a compendium of personal and matrimonial ads from the 1700s to the present, and putting it together was the perfect training for finding all of those great vintage advertisements appearing in The Teashop Girls! Laura has appeared on “Good Morning America” and Channel 3000 and enjoys visiting local middle schools to talk about writing and tea. She lives in Madison on the near east side with her enormous cat Ramona and can usually be found dancing the lindy hop or volunteering as an art museum docent. Laura is currently at work on a young adult novel about the golden age of Hollywood.
