Lori Wilson is a beginning writer and is currently working on completing her first novel.  She began taking her writing more seriously through the example and passion of a writer friend’s own dedication to becoming a published author. It is because of A.R.K. Watson that Lori also dares to imagine her works actually being published. Now as she takes up the position of Promotions Assistant for Catholic Reads, Lori embarks on a journey to become more involved in the Catholic Literary movement and takes up an opportunity to share her gifts with others. She has chosen to engage within the fantasy genre because it is the genre where the invisible reality, which only some choose to acknowledge, becomes incarnate and sensible to our minds and hearts. It is where one can learn more about themselves and the world by escaping from the world and themselves into the mystery of literature. It is the place where facts find their sustenance and where poetry is fact. In fact, one of Lori’s writing missions is to help others see what is falsely overlooked as fantasy and to spread the message of hope and freedom amidst a world full of so many tragic facts. For without embracing the ‘fantastic’ reality of God’s Love, it is so easy to despair of life and gives in to the bondage of fear and culture of death.
