A native of the Las Vegas valley, Lori won her first writing contest in fifth grade and knew that writing was going to be an important part of her life. From then on, even during her 18 year career as an ophthalmic technician and surgical assistant, she has dreamt of writing for a living.
She left ophthalmology in 2007 to work full-time on her first novel, take writing classes, start a blog, and write freelance articles. She spends her free time haunting the shelves of her neighborhood library, or curled up at home – lost in a book.
Lori, her husband and their two kids, two cats, two birds and spoiled rotten dog still live in Las Vegas, close to grandparents and her favorite used book stores.
