Lori’s writings are diverse and eclectic: she has penned articles for her high school and college newspapers, written about parenting, aging, and suburbia for Patch.com and Thrive Global, covered the sport of hockey for Calisports News and The Pink Puck, and has had her short fiction published in literary journals including The Baltimore Review.

Both Lori’s primary career for the past 30 years as a Communications and Marketing professional and her side hustle as a creative writer come from an innate desire to tell stories that create memorable and relatable experiences, deliver a lasting impact, and resonate with readers.

  • So You Say You’re Going to Self-Publish…The Obstacles Along the Way

    So you decide you’re going to self-publish your novel….but turns out, it’s not that simple. As I’ve mentioned before in this blog, after setting aside my novel for a number of years, I decided to jump back into writing – as much as my work schedule will allow, that is – and move forward with…
