Why subscribe to The Lost & Found Story Box?
Hi, I’m Lori! I’ve been collecting, researching, writing and sharing lost and found stories for decades, and I’ve seen firsthand their amazing ability bring people together, to spark curiosity, creativity and conversation.
Who doesn’t want more of THAT in their life?
I opened The Lost & Found Story Box on June 25, 2024, with a serialized lost & found story I titled, “Call Me a Bastard”. Set during America’s gilded age, the true story of Aimee Henry and Mary Martha has all elements of a Hollywood blockbuster, including a surprise ending even the best fiction writer would never dare include!
Although “Call Me a Bastard” was released over the course of several months, not every lost & found story will be that long, but they’ll all show up in your inbox on Tuesdays and Fridays.
