L.A. Witt is an author who, along with her husband, was humorously "exiled" from Spain to Maine, where she divides her time between writing and proving to people that she is aware of Maine's cold climate. She also enjoys contemplating her next tattoo and trying to reason with a surly Maine coon cat.
There is a playful rumor about her ongoing rivalry with her arch nemesis, Lauren Gallagher, who is supposedly lurking somewhere in New England. This rivalry has led L.A. Witt to train a team of special ops lobsters, although authors Ann Gallagher and Lori A. Witt have expressed their desire to focus on their writing careers instead of engaging in this whimsical rivalry.
