The second book in the Elements series from Twin Trinity Media is now out. Elements of Time contains the winning entries from the past, present and future shot story contests. I have two stories in the book: “Inescapable”, my first place win, and “No Time Like Now”.

Both Elements of Time and Elements of the Soul can be purchased from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Books-a-Million and other retailers, as well as from the Twin Trinity site directly. Links can also be found on my Published Works page.

This is the official site of M. Lori Motley, fantasy and horror writer.
Whether your tastes run to sun-dappled meadows where fairies dance, or the gloomy underground where vampires stalk their prey, you will find M. Lori Motley there, writing madly in her purple notebook.

I help run The Purple Wyrm with my good friends Melanie, human, and Louie, a dragon from Brooklyn, NYC.

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?)

Since practice makes perfect (or as near as we’ll ever get), and exercise is good for body and soul, it stands to reason that a writer must do writing exercises. These can be as simple as five minute word wars with a buddy, or complex as short-story-per-day goals.

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.
