Anything You Say explores the lives of five
female police officers in Baton Rouge,
Louisiana. Although the stories are fiction,
they come out of Laurie's experience
working as a uniformed police officer for
the Baton Rouge Police Department in the
1980s.
Laurie is currently working on a novel, The Hour
of Two Lights, also for HarperCollins (estimated
pub date: 2008) and a memoir, Losing My Gun.
