About the Author:

Barbara Rogoski is an American author, speaker, ordained minister and gay rights activist living outside of Amsterdam. She wrote this book to draw attention to the violence and discrimination against LGBT people around the world and to create a gay superhero that children that can look up to. Barbara came out of the closet at age 45, and looked for lesbian role models in literature. She saw teenagers committing suicide because of being bullied, being thrown out of their homes for telling their parents they were gay. Creating the character of Super Lorelei as role model and hero was Barbara's way to help create a tool to teach children about the need for tolerance, kindness and love for all people.
