Biography

“Update your bio,” they said, “And make it fun and quirky.”

I’m relieved they didn’t request a kinky bio since I do write erotic romance. Here’s a new bio for a writer who’s been published for TWO DAMN DECADES.

~ Lorelei James knows too much about pop culture and little about math/science-y stuff, which she blames on her GenX upbringing. She’s written a bunch of books in the Rough Riders series, the Blacktop Cowboys® series, the Mastered series, the Need You series, the Want You series, several stand-alones—many titles have hit the New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists. Her books have won the Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice Award, the CAPA Award, and in 2016, RT Book Reviews presented her with the Lifetime Achievement Award for Erotic Romance.

Cool, right? But Lorelei also has a secret identity. Okay, it’s not completely secret since it is her real name—as Lori Armstrong, she writes dark, gritty mysteries. She’s been nominated for 5 Shamus Awards—won 2—for books in her Julie Collins series, Mercy Gunderson series and a short story, earned nominations for a High Plains Book Award and won a Willa Cather Literary Award.

Lorelei lives in western South Dakota with her husband, their corgi Copper, more craft projects than she’ll ever finish, more books than she’ll ever read and all those pesky fictional characters residing in her head, begging her to tell their stories.

Lorelei James is represented by Scott Miller of Trident Media Group.
