Weekly Writer's Quote
August 31 - September 6, 2008


"I am still pegging away at my writing. The road of literature is at first a very slow one, but I have made a good deal of progress since this time last year and I mean to work patiently on until I win - as I believe I shall."
~L. M. Montgomery, author of Anne of Green Gables and dozens of other novels, short story collections, journals, and poetry books, 11 years before her first novel was published

Golden Crown Literary Conference

Well, I didn't win a Goldie for my collection Shimmer & Other Stories, but I am THRILLED that Fay Jacobs' Fried and True and Sheila Morris's Deep in the Heart did win. Fay is a hilarious hoot, and my partner and I got to know Sheila and her partner Teresa because they had a vendor table right next to us. What incredibly nice people - and both Sheila and Fay totally deserved Goldies!

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
