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.

Some of what you’ll find
I opened The Lost & Found Story Box in June 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 Parker has all elements of a Hollywood blockbuster, including a surprise ending even the best fiction writer would never dare include!
Start reading about Aimee and Mary Martha here, and let me know what you think in the comments.
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 every Tuesday and the occasional Friday once you subscribe.
Here’s a link to Part 1 of one of my most popular short series stories, The Incorrigible John George. John was an Alabama moonshiner, a scoundrel, and an unforgettable character to research and write about. Start reading all about him in this four-part story today!
I’m adding new stories each week, so I invite you to check out my entire archives — I promise there’s a great lost & found story that will tickle your fancy!
