My article!
This is the first piece of my writing that's ever been published! I'm so excited to share it :-) https://www.hippocampusmagazine.com/2026/04/craft-the-things-i-carried-out-of-suburbia-using-classic-structure-to-write-memoir-by-lori-lackland/
Good News
I submitted a short story for publication in an anthology. The theme is Keepsakes. After two edits it has been accepted.

@Sheryl Robinson My best friend is a dedicated Girl Scout Troop Leader, and my own kids participated (as did I!). I'm such a GS supporter <3
If you could co-author a book with any leaderโ€”living or historicalโ€”who would it be and why?ย 
Have you thought about a famous figure, either now or in the past, that you would love to write a book with? The figure doesn't have to relate to your business or career. Who would you pick?
