Hello, I’m Lori
A freelance writer, game creator,
and eternal optimist
WHAT I DO
I write books and articles for companies big & small, and finesse scripts for speakers at live gala events. I also co-created a game called The Death Deck to encourage important and life-changing dialogue. I’m a huge believer in post-traumatic growth and the idea that trauma and suffering, with proper support, can serve as a catalyst to an enhanced appreciation for life.

Talking to the Dead
I admittedly do so, and quite often. Not in a medium or clairvoyant way, but more in a personal, one-sided conversational way. Mostly to my late husband, Joe. Sometimes my mother, brother or grandparents. Something reminds me of them, and so I talk. Aloud. I ask...
