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
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
The men I write can be intense, quiet, outspoken and outrageous, deadly or fun... but I would never waste time on a hero who wasn't honorable, who didn't protect those who couldn't protect themselves, who didn't value children and pets, who wasn't independent and unselfish.

Now, and in the future, my focus is entirely on pets and children. I'm not a person who can turn a blind eye to injustice against them. Lori Foster blindchildeye Change image and share on social
There are certain things I couldn't write because they're not intrinsic to my beliefs. For instance, I couldn't write a hero or heroine who didn't put children first. Lori Foster beliefchildhero Change image and 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
How it works for me is that a scene comes to mind, usually a scene between the hero and heroine, that depicts the emotional conflict. From that scene, the characters come alive for me. I don't do a lot of preplanning in any way when I write. Lori Foster alivecharacterconflict share on social
We tend to think of human trafficking as a foreign issue, not something that could happen here in our own back yards. But it's a fast-growing problem in the United States, in every area, with no real defined demographic. Lori Foster areabackdefine share on social
I remember the first time I spoke to an editor. I thought I'd be sick, I was so nervous. The first time I spoke to a large group at a conference, I had the jitters for days beforehand. Lori Foster conferencedayeditor 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.
