A local author living right here in the Ozarks, Lori Copeland is a prolific writer with more than 95 published books. Her writings include fun-hearted mysteries to contemporary stories in small town settings to historical romances. Lori's website cites that even though her writing career began in 1982 for the secular book market, years later she felt that God wished her to use her gift to honor Him. In 1995, Lori began writing for the Christian book market. Besides her writing, Lori is very involved in supporting missionaries to Mali, West Africa where work is being done to help a local group of people called the Kagoros.

Lori Wick, another Midwesterner, writes contemporary and historical romances that are Evangelical in nature. If you like Copeland's Old West series, Men of the Sadle, then try Wick's Yellow Rose trilogy.
Fans of Debbie Macomber's contemporary stories in small town settings, such as the Cedar Cove series and the Blossom Street series, will find Copeland's humorous Morning Shade series equally appealing.
Readers that enjoy Copeland's historical romances should try Gilbert and Lynn Morris' popular long-running series featuring Cheney Duvall, M.D.
