I first met Lori at an ACFW Conference and we debuted the same year (2014). We were also literary agency mates and she was always very kind to me. Her first novel won a Christy and Book of the Year – wow!

It’s also so interesting that after so many years in traditional publishing, her latest novel is indie. You can read all the details here:
