M. Lori Motley

Fantasy and Horror Writer.

"Suspend Reality Whenever Possible."

I write fantasy and horror because it is my passion. If you feel more at home in dew-dappled meadows, on the search for fairies, or in cobweb curtained catacombs, on the hunt for a close call with death (or something worse) I invite you to delve into my website, my stories, and my mind... at least for a little while.

I help run The Purple Wyrm with my good friends Melanie, human, and Louie, a dragon from Brooklyn, NYC. You will find me at The Purple Wyrm's Writers & Readers Zone and moderating at ThePurpleWyrm.com's forum.

My most prolific writing genres are sword & sorcery, contemporary and urban fantasy, horror, dark fantasy, comedic fantasy, and paranormal & fantasy romance. I also take occasional forays into the world of erotica. (Don't we all at one time or another?)

I've used the dice rolling method to create writing prompts and story ideas for years. I decided it was finally time to share it with the multitudes.
