Her thrillers, aimed at a female audience, include 'Chasing Rainbows', 'Neon Nights', 'Hollywood Blues', 'Four of Hearts', and 'Wild Side', a rock 'n' roll adventure that was derived from observations made while working in concert promo in the late 80's/early 90's, and was voted among the top ten fiction novels of 2004 in an international readers' poll. The upcoming re-release of the book with Whiskey Creek Press will be accompanied by a 12-song CD, which was inspired by the story and was co-written by Lonsdale and award-winning vocalist Heidi Propp. While Laurie waits for her children's books to make their debut with Journey Stone Creations in the summer of 2008, she is freelancing for various publications and is working on her sixth novel. She also continues to dabble in music, providing lyrics and PR for select Toronto-area bands.
