In
a previous life, Lori was a graphic designer for fourteen years. In
her current existence, she's a stay at home mom with a desperate need
for a creative outlet besides Crayola crayons, Play-Doh and finger-painting.
Besides writing, she also does freelance web site design and portraits
on commission. She's been told her artistic creativity often shows through
in her stories. That, and the quirky side of her personality she tries
to keep reined in when she's around grown-ups.
In between mommy duties and
freelancing, she's hard at work on a new bestiary series featuring shapeshifting
characters from ancient medieval manuscripts. The first book is a medieval
time-travel called Fire of the Dragon.
Lori
lives in Virginia with her engineering geek/hero husband, a precocious
daughter who likes dragons more than dolls, and a dare devil son who wants
to drive monster trucks when he grows up.
