About Lora Lynn

Lora Lynn Fanning remembers fondly her first taste of writing success when, at the age of 5, she authored a highly lauded book about a chicken. That the praise came solely from her mother never bothered her one bit. Her first venture writing online, the blog Vitafamiliae, regaled the internet with stories of family life, rooted in equal parts hilarity and humiliation. A firm believer in the art of eternal reinvention, her IRL careers include teaching, editing, and marketing, among others.  

Her life motto is “look for the funny in everything,” but she readily admits she spends just as much time looking for her phone.

A lifelong history buff, she delights in combining her love of the past with the imaginary friends she’s carried in her mind since her youth. Her first novel, The Lost Legacy, is available in Italian and English.  Look for the second book in the series, The Irish Inheritance, late in 2026.
