SECONDBORN is Born!







I’m so pleased to share that Secondborn is available after Firstborn’s 
original publication in 2014! What a long journey, although it’s not 
surprising. I first began work on Firstborn in 2004. So, it appears 
it takes me about ten years to nest and grow fantasy. However, 
if all goes as planned, Thirdborn will follow this year. No decade wait! 
It will be lovely to complete Tia’s story at last.

Secondborn and Thirdborn will both be published under 
Silver Finch Press.

As I continue to publish traditionally, I’m also moving forward in 
the current climate of the industry to make my works that I love available. 
In the near future, I hope to have many more board books for first readers 
as well. I find I’m excited and energized and truly love creating and delivering 
my work, from first drafts to final design. It’s wonderful that this is possible 
with today’s technology. Huzzah!

So, please take a look, leave a review, and share the word. 
Secondborn has taken flight!

Happy Book Birthday, FIRSTBORN!

My first young adult fantasy is launching today! Thanks for celebrating with me!

"A fantasy that reads like a lost history tome and deftly examines issues of gender...An engrossing story with welcome depths." Kirkus Starred Review

Girls Life magazine calls it, "a dystopian read packed with a fierce punch."

Where does a firstborn girl fit in a world dominated by men? When Tiadone was born, her parents had two choices: leave their daughter outside the community to die, or raise her as a male. Now grown, Tiadone must prove her father didn't make a mistake by letting her live. As her male initiation approaches, feminine gifts and traits emerge, and the bird she's been twined with is seen as a sign of evil. Drawn to her male best friend, Tiadone tries to become what she must be while dealing with what she indeed has become.

Around the web, folks are partying. Readers are playing for a box of 11 books. Read about it here. Author friends are posting photos of their last release, sharing its birth order, and wishing FIRSTBORN well. All Girls Allowed is focusing on the impetus for the novel, gendercide.
 
It's a great day! Thanks again. May all female infants be allowed to live! xox Lorie Ann
