Breaking and Entering is a debut collection of thirteen short stories about relatively ordinary people who experience beauty and tragedy in their lives when they least expect it. Each story in the collection explores a facet of what happens when the barriers or bonds between people break down. These breakdowns can be caused by a chance encounter, a long forgotten choice or a simple mistake.Breaking and Entering is also the title of the first story in the collection. It is about a man who has just helped his beloved terminally ill wife die, when an odd pair of burglars break into his house and give him a reason to live. Fallout Shelter, another story in the collection, was initially published in Short Story America's inaugural anthology, available at www.shortstoryamerica.com."I write to understand how people become who they are. It is only though fiction that we can look directly at the universal truths that bind us without being blinded." Laura Semonche Jones

A double graduate of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Laura Semonche Jones practiced law for ten years and co-owned an art gallery for three before starting to write professionally seven years ago. When not writing, reading, or thinking about fiction, Laura works as a freelance writer and editor, enjoys open water swimming and dreams of the day when dogs can talk. Breaking and Entering is her first collection of short stories. She is working on a mystery novel, Picking Up Mercury, about how one damaged and reluctant sleuth navigates the unmarked intersection of journalism and justice where it is easy to lose one's innocence and easier to die.
