I was born and still live in Oregon. As far back as I can remember I made up stories, many never again to see the light of day. I earned a BS from Eastern Oregon State College and married my best friend almost twenty years ago. I’ve three brilliant sons, one amazing daughter-in-law, a grand baby to be and two spoiled dogs. When not writing I love to read, hike, camp and take long walks with my husband. You can learn more about me at my blog http://loriconnelly.blogspot.com/
