Five Facts About Me

1. I pitched my first novel when I was eight years old. To James Howe! He wrote me back the sweetest letter. I wish I still had it!
2. I lived in England for a few years after college. (Talk about creepy ruins and abandoned buildings galore!)
3. My first name comes from The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and it's pronounced LORI-EN.
4. I have a collection of FRANKENSTEIN novels, all with different covers. 
5. I have unhealthy obsessions with iced tea, vampires, all things Disney, and sharks.
