Lorrie Domin lives in Clover, South Carolina. She began writing poems in high school to express her wild emotions, vivid imagination, and every day what if’s.

What if the world stopped spinning?

What if high school didn’t exist for students over the age of fifteen?

What if our parents weren’t around when we woke up in the morning?

What if all my thoughts came true?

What if a stranger followed me around all day?

What if criminals barged into my home?

What if the guy next to me at the stoplight got out of his car and banged on my window?

What if I had the authority to choose life or death over others?

What if everything I knew was a lie?

What if my name wasn’t Lorrie?

What if I suddenly couldn’t hear or speak or see?

Why do I write YA with a generational secondary character?

That’s simple. My grandma lived with us while I was younger. She had twelve living kids, so you can imagine how many people visited our home regularly–lots of family members–crazy, loving, sometimes ugly, and happy tribe.

There were many stories told around a round oak table…stories that you’ve got to read! No… no… no… I’d never share our family stories. Never. Yours? Maybe. Just kidding.

Family is beautiful and messy. And has been around for a long time. Like it or not. Let’s talk and share and grow and love one another. That’s the beauty of family.

What’s up with the romance?

Don’t we all want to experience falling in love? It’s subtle, just a touch of romance, and makes us feel all warm and fuzzy. Books allow us to fall in love repeatedly.

Am I a romantic? My husband would say no… but I sure love him.
