"Lord Alexander Fizthugh, Earl of Stapleton, is a bear of a man, quite content to spend his time with his sturdy mistresses and completely unprepared for the marriage campaign launched upon his by 'Bill', a petite blonde vixen who already has more than enough young swains dancing to her tune. Lady Willy Kirkpatrick, enjoying her first Season, plans to find a suitable rogue to teach her the art of flirting. Yet when she sets eyes on Alexander Fitzhugh, the headstrong young lady decides he will be the perfect match for her. And everyone knows the acrimonious earl stands no chance as what Willy wants, willy gets!"

About herself, Lori says:
"I grew up in Edmonds, having moved there when I was only a toddler from California and have lived in Washington State for over 40 years. At 20, I moved from the University District in to live with my late husband who was a Shoreline resident. We married when I was 24 and I had my son a year later. I worked for Carter Subaru on Aurora Ave for several years. I live only a few blocks from the Shoreline Community Center and often walk my dogs around the Center grounds. I have lived in Shoreline for approximately 28 years and have enjoyed watching it become its own beautiful city.
"Once my son was older, I began pursuing my writing career dreams in earnest and soon became an active member of a national non-profit writing organization, the Romance Writers of America (trademark). Within a couple years, I had moved from being the local chapter online newsletter editor to the chapter president. After 3 years of serving in that position, I became the conference chairperson for a conference that is the largest West Coast romance writers conference, the Emerald City Writers Conference, held every October with an open-to-the-public book signing event. In the last few years, I have also been one of the founding members and the president of a new chapter of the same organization, The Evergreen RWA. I have also organized the groups Everett Waterfront Book Festival for three years."
She returns as a speaker for the 2014 Emerald City Writers Conference which has an October 18th Open-to-the public Book Festival at the Westin in Bellevue. She is also a guest speaker for other local chapters of the organization, a speaker at local business groups, and a mentor to other writers.
Her debut historical romance, The Archery Contest, is being released on Tuesday, May 13th and available in e-book through Amazon and all other online retailers. The print version will be releasing later this summer.
