Hey, I’m Lori
I write immersive romance that will make you want to be besties with some characters and gossip about others!
Romance is important, transformative literature that everyone deserves to enjoy. That’s why I release a closed door edition for every open door novel I publish, and why I started RomanceRevolution. Join the revolution below.
I live in Western North Carolina (my favorite place in the world). When I’m not engaging in bookish activity, you might find me on the trails, making music, in the kitchen, or enjoying my family.
