Laura Redfern
The artist formery known as "Laura Goodman"
One of the footnote's original six, Laura is known for possessing anal-retentive grammar skills, a love for all things even remotely British, and the most temperamental digestive system the world has yet seen. A graduate of Capital University in Literature and Theatre, Laura spent her first wild years out of college touring the U.S. as a freelance opera stage manager. When the temporary insanity passed, she found herself living in Austin, TX with her boyfriend Ryan, where she currently resides. She has developed a taste for Mexican food and has been heard to use the collective noun “y’all,” but still considers herself a Yankee after surviving 25 years of living in Ohio. Her guilty pleasures include buying outrageously priced lattes at her favorite local coffee shops, sleeping in as late as possible, and occasionally watching “Queer Eye for the Straight Guy” and “American Idol.” An avid nature-lover, Laura uses only 100% recycled humor in her writings for the footnote.
Her Writing Influences: Jim Shahin & Tom Robbins. Also influenced by having to correct business letters all day long.
Her Superpower: The ability to stop time ("and to start it back up again, thank you – no Alfred Hitchcock films here!"). She uses this ability to get all of her work done while time is stopped, which then allows her to do whatever the hell she wants with the “real” hours of the day – be that sleeping, practicing yoga, reading, or just laying around in the sun.
