My name is Lorri Moulton and I live on a farm in Eastern Washington. We have five horses and live in a lovely part of the country, which inspire many of my stories. I write romance, suspense, fantasy, mysteries, fairytales, and historical non-fiction. Real life fairytales happen all the time. You just have to believe in the possibility…and look for magic in the most unexpected places.

The Magic of Burrows Bay,” co-authored with Abigail McKee, is the first book in our Burrows Bay Romance Series. Moira and Gabriella discover their grandmother has left them a mansion in the San Juan Islands, north of Seattle. The two cousins, who have not seen each other in the past fifteen years, must learn to work together to uncover their true heritage. And what they find will change their lives forever. This is a three book serialized story and all three books are now available!

Christmas in Silver Birch Valley is a sweet romance with a bit of fantasy woven into the story. When a man spends the holidays in a small Northwestern town that may not be exactly what it seems…he rediscovers the true meaning of Christmas.

Once Upon A Rose, the first of the clean/sweet fairytale novelettes, follows a princess who uncovers a plot against her kingdom and tries to stop it with the help of her friends.

Spell Bound is the second clean/sweet fairytale novelette in this series. Felicia wonders if she’ll ever find her place in the world…then comes across the opportunity of a lifetime. In this clean/sweet fairytale, a young woman becomes an apprentice to the village candlemaker and discovers magic is all around her.

Magic’s Betrayal, an elemental fairytale, follows a noble and commoner trying to save their families and their kingdoms. Long after an epic battle divided the lands, a dark lord and evil sorceress have returned. As they consolidate their power, a water fairy and kelpie are convinced these two humans hold the key to stopping them…if they can unlock the secrets of an ancient prophecy.

Moonlight, Roses & Murder is a murder mystery and a paranormal suspense story. Selina is a woman with a secret and she has been hiding it for a very long time. With her nieces, she runs Luna’s, a nightclub in downtown Seattle, catering to Steampunk and Goth clientele. When someone leaves a body behind her club, she is drawn into a web of mystery and murder. Puncture marks on the body indicate a vampire might be responsible and when more women are killed, a red rose is left by their bodies. A vampire hunter with secrets of his own comes to investigate and Selina wonders, who she can trust…

Storm Front is the first book in this spy series filled with suspense, romance and even a little paranormal. “The role of women has always been undervalued in the spy world, always undermined in terms of recognition. Unfairly so. It’s a world that needs women.” -Helen Mirren
When a spy loses her memory, she doesn’t know who to trust…or what to believe. I felt myself flying through the air, and I was strangely calm for a moment as the reality of the situation faded away. This wasn’t happening. It couldn’t be happening. I’d wake up any moment and realize it was all a bad dream. Then, I hit the water. What happens, when the people you thought you could trust betray you? That’s bad enough in any relationship…but when you’re a spy, it can be deadly.

Dare To Cross The Water is the first book in the Dare Romance series. These books are loosely based on my family history and start with my great-great-great grandmother on my mom’s side…and her life in Scotland.

Dare To Share A Dream continues the story, but in a novelette form. This short story follows the ro

A very cute short story that is also very easy to read. I liked the idea and the setting of it. Even though it was short, it did not feel like anything was missing. It still had enough depht and it really gave off that slight feeling of a fairy tale as well.

(Oh, and a nice bonus point for me was the fact that the cat was named the same my old cat was. As soon as the name Nora dropped, I had a nice picture of my own cat Nora in my head). 🙃🙂

This is a fantastic short read and love how fairy tale characters are incorporated into the story. Felicia has a hard time staying employed and finally finds employment; as an apprentice. This is a clean read that can be read in a day.

A fun short story set in an interesting world. I feel like this story could have been fleshed out a bit more and the main character given a bit more agency in the conclusion.

Felicia grew up in an orphanage and really only had one true friend. As they grew up her friend got married and had a baby and had a beautiful family. Felicia, on the other hand, couldn’t even hold a job. Something always happened that she knew she she hadn’t done but got blamed and then got fired. When she learned that Oliver, a strange elderly man who made candles, needed a new employee, she figured she had nothing to lose, and she got the job. Not just any job but his apprentice. She was excited to learned everything but what she learned was more than she bargained for. Do you believe in magic? This is a clean, awesome and cute fairytale and I really enjoyed it.

This was a fun fantasy and I truly enjoyed it. There was magic and adventure, new friendships and a helping hand. I think this is a book for all ages. It was nice to enter the world of fantasy for a couple of hours!

The narration was well done; easy to listen to and added to the pleasure I found in listening to the book.

I liked Spell Bound better than the book that preceded it. The storyline revolving around magical beings and humans crossing worlds is unique. However, like the first book in this series, I felt that it was too short and lacked detail.

The reader confused me but I was starting to understand. Felicia was a good apprentice.

Very cute story. I just didn't like the way it was formatted. Would have like better format in changing POVs.

What a nice story! I loved how the world was described, how the characters traveled between realms, how clean and uplifting it was, and the happy ending in the romance!

Cute, simple, and easy book. I liked the plot, but I wish it were more developed. Everything seems to happen quickly, and I felt like some aspects needed more explanation. I was hoping for more twists and depth to the story, but it felt like it was missing something. I considered giving it 4 stars, but even though I read it quickly, it didn't meet my expectations for a higher rating. I would have liked more explanation about elves, trolls, pixies, fairies, and their history. If it had that, I would give it 4 stars. Overall, it's a good concept, but it needs more depth and twists to be truly captivating.
