Loren grew up expecting she could be the next Gordon Korman, except she wasn't particularly funny, which was a bit problematic. Then she wanted to become an exchange student in Japan, and use her newfound fluency to consume Japanese comic books by the boatload. That didn't work out as planned, either. Instead, as an adult, she earned an English degree in her hometown of St. John's, Newfoundland and went off to teach English in Osaka, where she has been writing about Japan since the day she arrived at Narita Airport. She is author of teen novel Meet You By Hachiko and the upcoming Small Ball.

I'm Loren, originally from St. John's NL, and in 2020 I launched my fiction writing career with my first YA novel, Meet You By Hachiko. The reality is that indie publishing a first book, or even a second book, doesn't put food on the table. (The word is that after Book 3, you're just a hair above instant ramen.) I'm okay with living on KD instead of Pumpkin Spice if it gets my book out there. But once in a while, you know, Pumpkin Spice might be okay. That's why I set up this Ko‑fi (as well as a Patreon for regular contributions, where supporters can get advance chapters, behind-the-scenes looks and other perks), so that while I'm hedging my bets on writing for a living, maybe you'll want to throw in a little something to support me in the meantime. Thank you for stopping by!
