"Writing to Inspire"
Lorilyn Roberts graduated Magna Cum Laude from the University
of Alabama in 1993 with a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Humanities/Social Sciences. She won an award for "Outstanding Senior
Project" upon graduation for her coursework at the Institute of Holy Land Studies in Jerusalem. Lorilyn is currently
working on her Master of Arts in Creative Writing from Perelandra College.
As a Certified Court Reporter, Lorilyn has made contributions to the journal published
by the National Court Reporters Association. She has spent the last twelve years providing real-time broadcast captioning
for television. She blogs on several websites including searchwarp.com and faithwriters.com.
Lorilyn Roberts' first book, The Donkey and the King, is
a beautifully illustrated children's book published by Virtualbookworm.com.
In her latest book, Children of Dreams, the many pearls of suffering Lorilyn has experienced
enable her to share deeply from the heart. Her inspirational writing reveals how God is able to "restore the years
the locusts have eaten." Lorilyn also co-leads the Word Weavers Critique Group in Gainesville, Florida.
When not writing, taking graduate classes, or closed captioning
for television/web, Lorilyn homeschools her younger daughter, Joy, who is in seventh grade.
