Welcome!
Thanks for visiting my newly revamped
site. I've been working on it for quite
some time and am very happy to unveil it.
Don't hesitate to let me know what you think.
I'll be gradually updating pages, and this
may take me a couple of weeks, so please
be patient. Eventually, I will have all
the pages completed. |

Curve Magazine
I'm
thrilled to have a brief review of Shimmer
& Other Stories in Curve Magazine's
April issue.
|
|
|
| "Lori
Lake’s new book includes five
brilliant fictional tales that are
varied in plot but connected by a
common theme. They exemplify the grit
and adversity of real life with topics
ranging from sexual harassment to
surviving breast cancer. The title
story, “Shimmer,” is set
during the 1969 Stonewall riots. Many
lesbians were silent and invisible
until Stonewall. There is a lot of
heart packed into the pages of this
book, but the collection sends us
a clear message: We can choose the
path our lives take." ~K.Isserman |

A Short Article
About My Mentor, Carol Bly
CLICK
HERE to read a brief piece I wrote
about Carol Bly.
Carol Bly, my mentor, was a Minnesota writer
and professor, who died from cancer at age
77. Carol was my thesis advisor at Hamline,
and she was singularly instrumental in encouraging
me to write. It's very strange to think
that her strong, clear, ethical voice is
no longer in this world. She leaves quite
a legacy, both in her writing and in all
the students she influenced.
CLICK
HERE to read more about Carol, her
writing, and her life.

Friend, author of The Crown of Valencia,
which is the sequel to The
Spanish Pearl, and I recently did
a joint appearance at Amazon Feminist Bookstore
in Minneapolis. Catherine even had a cake
