Dreaming in Technicolor

Everyone's favorite film geek Phoebe Grant heads off to Merrie Old England-and changes her cinematic dreams from black and white to living color.

About the Book

Phoebe’s family has money troubles. Her spiritual life is dragging. She misses her long-distance best friend, Lindsey, terribly. But all that’s bearable because of Alex, the gorgeous man who shares her love of movies and actually likes women with a little meat on their bones. At last-someone to kiss on New Year’s Eve!

But by New Year’s Eve, Alex is in London, called home by a family emergency. Newly engaged Lindsey has turned into a long-distance Bridezilla, and the snooze button still sabotages Phoebe’s morning quiet times. She needs a break, which is why she jumps at the cheap off-season fare to England.

She’s not chasing Alex. Really. She just wants to broaden her horizons. But what awaits Phoebe in the land of Mrs. Miniver and Notting Hill is nothing short of disaster . . . and nothing less than a miracle.

Laura Jensen Walker

I’ve loved words ever since I read 103 books in Miss Vopelensky’s first-grade class. That’s when I first dreamed of becoming a writer. My dream came true many years later when my first book was published at the age of forty.

I took a decade-long sabbatical from publishing to work for the State of California, but now I’m happily “retired” from the 9-to-5 and writing full-time again. I write in several genres—an author pal dubbed me a genre butterfly. What can I say? The ideas come fast and furious from all directions and when the muse speaks, I listen.

In 2020, my first mystery, the Amazon bestselling, Agatha-nominated Murder Most Sweet released, followed in quick succession by Deadly Delights and Hope, Faith & a Corpse. The Lefty-nominated Death of a Flying Nightingale, set in WWII England, is my historical fiction debut. This book shines a spotlight on an overlooked group of women heroes—The Flying Nightingales—who risked their lives flying into combat zones to evacuate the wounded. I had the great privilege of interviewing the last remaining Flying Nightingale for my foray into historical fiction.

My latest lighthearted mystery, The Alphabet Sleuths features four women of a certain age, and has been described as The Thursday Murder Club meets The Golden Girls. I’m thrilled to say that my second WWII historical, The Postmistress of Puddlington, released in August 2026, and The Pilgrimage of Primrose Honeychurch, my women’s fiction debut, comes out in October. Meanwhile, I’m juggling several new book ideas—more to come!
