Lore Wren

Lore Wren grew up in contrasting worlds. Her childhood was spent following her maverick father on adventures around the world. Her mother kept her and her siblings grounded by spending long summer nights chasing fireflies at her family’s farm in Nebraska. It was here that she learned that the simple things in life mattered most.

Growing up observing life on private planes and corn fields gave her a sea of characters and stories. With her father’s risk-taking spurt and her mother’s unyielding love, she explored life searching for what connects us. Her professional career has been spent behind the scenes at an opera company,doing celebrity interviews for a magazine, creating a public sculpture, and raising money for the arts and education.

A visit to Pompeii with her daughter on the summer solstice inspired her debut novel. The story of two lovers sealed to get in an ashen embrace made her thing about something she learned as a Fulbright scholar….the importance of seeing things through another’s eyes.
