Loren-

Loren works as a children’s Library Generalist at the main branch of Charleston County Public Libraries in Charleston, South Carolina. When not working at the library, she can often be found at home reading next to her husband and her English Lab, Rocco (who can often be found sleeping next to his duck). Her love of dogs, along with her love of art, traveling, children’s books, and her oldest niece, Lily, inspired her first book. Rocco and Duck Travel is a love letter to Rocco and the favorite people in her life.

She is currently writing and illustrating her second children’s book, The Bagel- A Hole Lotta History.
