With her boots on the ground, head in the clouds, and heart in His hands, she is a wandering soul with a home-keeping heart in search of life’s truest adventures. Lori loves sharing the joys of living a Christ-centered life with others through her writing. Her first novel, A Firm Place to Stand, released in January 2020, and was a finalist for both the Selah and the Director’s Choice awards. In addition to writing inspirational novels, Lori creates uplifting, faith-based content for Crossmap, The Word on Wednesday, and other online devotions.
