Have you ever heard your parents or grandparents tell stories of their life and experiences? I have. I was raised by my grandparents for a good part of my life. I still remember sitting on the porch with my grandfather as he would reminisce. I loved those times and I still hold them precious.

I share those stories of his and some of my own with my grandchildren (my kids have heard them all before and just roll their eyes now)!  But my grandkids, I wanted to share the stories with them so, perhaps, they might just share them with their children and grandchildren when I’m no longer here.

Why am I bringing all of this up? I’m so glad you asked!

Our guest today is Lorrie Grant. Lorrie is a natural born story teller! I’ve read some of her blogs and they are amazing! You get sucked right into the story! Amen!

Lorrie is also an author of three published children’s books, “Why is There an Elephant in My Basement?” “Little White Flies” and “I Am Beautiful Too.”

She is also a podcast host!  Praise God!  Her podcast is called, “Story Tellers with a Message.” Amen!

My first question I always start with is this. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Lorrie Grant?”

I read on your website that you almost failed Freshman English in college. Is that right?

Can you tell us what first led you into writing?

When I read that on your website, that reminded me of those times with my grandfather, which is why I opened with those comments. Those really are precious memories. I know you’re wanting to pass them on to your children and I think you’re onto something with these books.

Tell us about the book, “Why is There an Elephant in My Basement?”  What is that about?

What is the point of the book? What is the take away for your readers?

What age group are you targeting with your books and your writing?  Who is it you are writing for?

The book, “Little White Flies,” I’ve heard of “Little White Lies,” but what is the “Little White Flies” about?

Your book, “I Am Beautiful Too,” this is a book about self-image and things like that, correct?  How do you communicate that message with this story?

What is coming up next? What books are you working on now?

You are also a podcaster!  Tell us about your podcast, “Story Tellers with a Message?”

How long have you been podcasting?

What is the format and do you have guests?

Lorrie, this is all so interesting. I feel I could talk to you for hours about this stuff. It’s really great.

Lorrie, this has been great. Where can someone order your books? Are they on Amazon?
