Questions for Lori

​What is your favorite thing to read?

​The Bible. I’d be lost without it. It always gives me something fresh and new no matter how many times I read it. And you can own as many copies of it as you want without people thinking you’re weird. Try doing that with Harry Potter.

Why do you write?

Because all these crazy thoughts and quirky characters in my head had to go somewhere. Honestly, this is the lane God has placed me in and all I can do is be obedient. To borrow from famous athlete Eric Liddell, when I write I feel His pleasure.
