Her debut novel, A Firm Place to Stand, was recognized as a 2020 AWSA Golden Scrolls Awards winner as well as being a finalist for Best First Novel and Best Romantic Suspense in the Selah Awards and Director’s Choice Award at the Blue Ridge Mountains Christian Writers Conference in 2021. Her writing can be found in multiple compilations including Arise to Peace published by Right to the Heart and The Power to Make a Difference published by Lighthouse Bible Studies. Lori also blogs for Crossmap and The Word on Wednesday. She enjoys engaging with all facets of the writing industry and people who are passionate about the craft of writing. A life-long Texan, she loves her Texas roots, things that make her laugh, and the company of family and friends.
