Laci Barry Post
As the unusual child who asked her parents to stop at historical sites on vacation, Laci always loved a good story! While she enjoys fiction, she believes the most fascinating stories come from history. That is why she loves meaningful historical fiction that is based on real experiences and the people who lived through them. In the The War Song Series, Laci brings to life fictional characters based on her grandparents and other men and women who lived, worked, and loved through World War II to the Korean War. This time period was full of heartache, sacrifice, struggle, and immense social change. It was also a time of great big band music, and she features as much of it as possible! The music is the backdrop of the series, and Laci hopes the reader can hear the songs as he or she reads.
Since graduating from Samford University with a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, Laci has had a diverse writing career. She has written everything from books to author blogs to video scripts to newsletters to government grants to Christian, travel, and health articles. Her over 200 articles and short fiction have been published in ten print and online publications. She has also helped raise more than $15,000,000 through grant writing for nonprofit organizations. As you can see, Laci loves the writing process no matter what it is!
When Laci's not writing, she and her husband Jason are hiking with their dog Bucky, traveling as much as they can, and trying to keep up with their sons, Avery and Elijah. She's also a group fitness instructor who loves a challenging workout every day.
