Spring is on the Way!

Hey all!

I’m happy to share that Tiny Bear’s Easter Prayer is now available from Little Shepherd Books, Scholastic! School Library Journal had this to say:

“A charming book that will be in high demand for Christian families wanting an Easter read aloud.”

Woohoo! The work is again delightfully illustrated by Jenny Palmer.

While you nestle in during winter, may this book be a light for rebirth in spring. Blessings to you in 2026!

May you have peace. May you have safety. May you have happiness. Lorie Ann

Two Board Book Contract!

Hello everyone!

I'm working on a newsletter to shoot out, but here's the skinny for those who find me here. 

I did receive a contract for two board books with Scholastic, Little Shepherd! Huzzah! Here is the cover for the first work which releases October 7, 2025. The second release will follow in the spring of 2026. 

Feel free to preorder here or at your favorite site. 

Secondly, I've continued to publish poetry for adults. Once the poems are published, I post them on this site under this tab. It's wonderful to have a new audience and format. The reception has been delightful. I'd imagine a chapbook will be a project to pursue when time allows. 

Otherwise, I continue to revise novels-in-progress. Keeping the works relevant to the time and my own self-development as a writer and human. 

Facebook has decided to reinstate me, although, not my author site. I'll continue to ask for that correction. 

I think that's the skinny! Sending love, health, and peace to each. Lorie Ann 

Pre-sale: I Say a Little Prayer for You at Bedtime

I'm so happy to announce my next upcoming board book with Olivia Chin Mueller! Pre-sale orders are available for I Say a Little Prayer for You at Bedtime. I hope this comforting lullaby offers peace to your wee ones in this difficult time. 

One note: you might see a former cover still appearing on bookseller sites. No worries. The interior is the same, and the bears will make their way to your home. Thanks so much for your support!
