edit data

Lori Benton was born and raised east of the Appalachian Mountains, surrounded by early American and family history going back to the 1600s. Her novels transport readers to the 18th century, where she brings to life the Colonial and early Federal periods of American history, creating a melting pot of characters drawn from both sides of a turbulent and shifting frontier, brought together in the bonds of God's transforming grace.

When she isn’t writing, reading, or researching 18th century history, Lori enjoys exploring the mountains with her husband.

Burning Sky, Lori's debut novel, was a finalist for the ECPA 2014 Christian Book Award, and winner of the 2014 Christy Award for First Novel, Historical, and Book of the Year. ...more

It's hard to believe I've been on Blogger since 2007, long before I was a published writer. It's been a good home, but I've moved on, (so have you, if you've followed this link!).

Since the release of The King's Mercy in June we (my website designer and I) have been busy behind the scenes setting up this new home in cyberspace.
