Laura started her first WordPress site back in March 2006 when she and a friend decided to start a website about a then little-known book called Twilight where fans could discuss the novel on a blog and forums.

Laura was suddenly thrust into a media vortex that included set visits, a book deal, speaking engagements, and too many surreal experiences to count.
