I think it's very important to support those who can't help themselves - children, animals - and especially to do so in your own neighborhood. Lori Foster animalchildimportant Change image and share on social
I don't need the water to be inspired. My stories inspire me, not the location of where I'm parked. And good thing, since I've had to finish books in airports, in the RV we used to have, the lake house, while on vacation, at home, in the kitchen when my office PC was on the fritz.

Having kids is the deal-breaker on shyness! Once you have a baby, you learn to speak up loud and clear to protect them, defend them, and encourage them. I have three sons, so I've experienced that in triplicate. Lori Foster babybreakerclear share on social
I enjoy talking to groups who are interested in the writing process or the industry. I never teach - because truthfully, I don't know how it all works; it just does. Sort of magic-like. But I love to share my experiences and perspectives. Lori Foster enjoyexperiencegroup share on social
I despise stereotypes. A gay man can be a macho athlete, or he can be an interior designer or any career in between. Lori Foster athletecareerdesigner Change image and share on social
