A cycle of linked short stories about love, loss, and the difficulty of communicating emotion in any language. Two men and a woman (Jesse, Roy, and Julie) lead complicated intertwined lives; whether funny, sad, ecstatic or outraged, theirs are pitch perfect voices. Laura is a social worker in the San Francisco area. Her fiction and nonfiction have appeared in Writer's Digest, The First Line, and elsewhere. "Meeting Angel," published in the September, 2012, Wordrunner echapbook anthology (Found), is a part of the Lost in Translation story cycle and features some of the same characters. A highlight of her writing career was scoring both a Runner-Up and a Dishonorable Mention at the Bulwer-Lytton "It was a dark and stormy night" Awards.
