Chat with Lori Z. Scott

Lori Z. Scott remembers three main things about growing up: laughter, prayer, and Super Cat.  

As a child, Lori spent hours around the dinner table giggling at lame jokes, puns, and punch lines. Laughter is still a vital part of her everyday life and her writing. (No joke!)

Prayer played a key role in Lori's life too. After all, with three boisterous sisters, talking to God was about the only place she held a prayer of getting a word in edgewise.

Lori wrote "The Adventures of Super Cat" in the margins of her high school science notebook. (She just couldn't leave her creative streak out of the equation.) This daydreaming/doodling phenomenon has occurred several times throughout her life, but that information remains strictly confidential.

It's no wonder laughter, prayer, and Super Cat all show up in Lori's new children's fiction series. The first two titles--Meghan Rose on Stage! and Meghan Rose Has Ants in Her Pants--are funny (she figures, if it doesn't amuse her, why write it?) and bursting with energy. The main character, named after her own daughter, is a strong, out-spoken first grader. Her best buddy Ryan and duck-loving pal Kayla help round out the cast.

As a speaker, teacher, and award-winning author, Lori Z. Scott has contributed to more than a dozen books and published over fifty short stories, poems, puzzles, articles, and devotions for children, teens, and adults. Her web site--www.MeghanRoseSeries.com--highlights the Meghan Rose series. Meghan Rose All Dressed Up and Meghan Rose Has a Secret will be released this April.
