Hello Happy People!

Today we kick off two months of author interviews featuring books where love is at the center of the stories. We talked to authors who write tradition romance tropes as well as authors who write more outside of the "romance" box to show that love can play a big part of any story, even mainstream thrillers. So mark your calendars every Wednesday and join us February 5th to March 26th for some amazing romance reads! 

Today we kick things off for our Season 4 Lovefest with award-winning romance author, Lori Matthews. Books were an important element in Lori's life for as long as she can remember. Growing up in Nova Scotia, Lori remembers her home always being filled with books and the family often made time to sit and read together. 

It is not surprising to learn her love of books influenced her career path, choosing to become a librarian. She started her career in the New York City Public Library and later chose to work more closely with children as a high school librarian. Lori even made a slight detour into the corporate world as a librarian for a major publishing house, but eventually Lori chose to change her path again.

When her children went off to school, Lori finally took the time to pursue a new path, becoming an author.  Lori has won numerous writing awards including two Daphne Du Maurier awards. She currently lives in New Jersey with her husband, two children, her crazy dog, and her grumpy cat.

Go listen now to get the full story and learn about her latest new race car romance, Shifted.
