Laity is the award-winning author of Unikirja (Aino Press 2009), a collection of short stories and a play based on the Kalevala, Kanteletar, and other Finnish myths and legend (for which she won the 2005 Eureka Short Story Fellowship as well as a 2006 Finlandia Foundation grant) as well as Pelzmantel: A Medieval Tale (revised & expanded edition available June 2010 from Immanion Press), the comic Jane Quiet, short stories, humor, plays and essays.
