Having spent her youth accompanying her parents on their own professional travel-writing adventures, Lura developed a love for travel at a very early age. Today, Lura continues the tradition by exploring the world with her own children and sharing her enthusiasm and experiences with readers. A New England native, Lura has written and contributed to several travel guides which focus on the area, as well as author More Than Petticoats: Remarkable Massachusetts Women, a collection of historical biographies.
