Hey there! I'm Laura C.J. Owen -- the C. J. is in there so that I am not to be confused with Laura Owens the visual artist, nor with the thousands of other Laura Owens, Lauren Owens, Lauren Olsons, etc. out there.

Yes, I have two middle names.

 I'm a writer and teacher. This website contains information about my writing, my teaching, etc. I like to say that I was born in England, raised in Arizona, and that I went to Minnesota for school. But on a lot of my bios I made a typo, so many places on the Internet it says that I was "born England." I have degrees from Carleton College and the University of Minnesota. I currently live in Tucson, Arizona, again. I like to move to places multiple times.

Any black and white photos on this site were taken by this lady. All other photos were taken by my computer.

Wanna contact me about something? You can reach me here.
