Hello, world! My name is, Laurie Tysinger. I have been passionate about the arts since I was a small child. My motto is : "I create, therefore, I am." I have been involved with many art forms, and have trained others in them, as well. 

I sing and play bass guitar, and write much of my own material. I have been involved in a number of musical projects, beginning as a singer and lyricist at the age of twelve. I also utilize my background in dance in conjunction with my music.

I have successfully maintained a consistent seasonal acting job at a well known local haunted attraction since 2004. In addition to acting, I create my own characters, costumes, props, and make ups. Some of my characters have been featured on The Travel Channel, and I have appeared in Haunt World Magazine. 

Although I love all forms of writing, my primary goal as a writer is to help instill a love of reading in children from a very young age, as well as get their parents involved, through my children's picture books. I am also endeavoring to design books for older children, and young adults that will keep them reading, or rekindle lost interest.
