About

With a Ph.D. in Religion and Philosophy and a concentration in Women’s Spirituality, Lori’s passion is to put magic back into women’s spiritual experience and shine light on women whose contributions to religious history have been left in the dark. Always sensing a connection to St. Cecilia, Lori spent twenty-five years researching what her life might have been like and decided to write a book with which to share the story of this historical yet mysterious figure.

An award-winning essayist and poet, Lori is also the author of the historical novel Comfort and Mirth and the non-fiction book Dreaming ~ The Sacred Art.

When she is not writing, Lori edits historical novels and instructs religion and philosophy as an adjunct university professor. She resides in Southwest Florida.

  • Historical Novel Society
  • Association for the Study of Women in Mythology
  • Florida Writers Association
  • Women’s Fiction Writers Association
