Lorie L Corbin

Lorie L. Corbin is the youngest of 3 children born to Johnny and Lynda Corbin. She was born in Anaheim, California and has spent much of her life with her nose in books. She began exploring the possibility of becoming a writer when she hit high school, writing her first novel at 14. Her father took it to one of his English professors at California State University, Chico and the professor told him to encourage Lorie to keep writing. She was good for being so young an age.

She was married in 1997, had 2 children, Tyler, in 1998, and Lillian, in 2003. In 2000, she moved to Redmond, Oregon. She separated from her husband in 2009 and subsequently divorced in 2011. In 2021, she relocated to Leavenworth, Kansas, where she currently works and resides.

Under the moniker of L.L. Zampelli, Lorie published four novels - Unpredictable Turns, in 2006, Love Is..., in 2008, Chasing Nature, in 2010, and Semper Fi, in 2012. She continued to write in her spare time, but went back to school in 2011, completing a Bachelor's Degree in Liberal Studies at Oregon State University - Cascades Campus in Bend, Oregon in 2016.
