A horror author who lives with ghosts. I put my childhood trauma to good use and create unforgettable characters.

Laurie Kirk’s writing journey began in 2021 when her mediumship kicked in and she discovered she is a womb twin survivor. She wrote a TV pilot about the pain of losing her brother and her parents at a young age. And naturally it’s a comedy. They all haunt her on the regular and she couldn’t be happier about it. She had lost her dad a few years after her abandoned her. It was 1969 and he was gay and decided to live his authentic life by divorcing her mother. Back then, there was no support for anyone involved and everyone suffered as a result. Laurie has come to terms with all of it and, ironically, healed the fractured relationship with her father 40 years after his death. So, it's never too late. She looks forward to bringing this story to the screen with all its hilarious ups and downs. She stepped into the horror/thriller genre with BABY MARVIN. It began its life as a feature script, but a novel was the obvious next step. It explores duality, identity and the fractured self. Originally from Florida, she and husband Mike moved to Pennsylvania in 2015 to escape the humidity. They live in the country with two of their five children. She spends her time writing, rescuing dogs and causing a commotion. She is also constantly on the lookout for the perfect burger. Obsession with duality and dead parents—Laurie is the Batman of the Poconos.
