A proud citizen of the Lone Star State, Lori Janeski wonders why the rest of the country can’t be more Texan, why the rest of the world isn’t more Polish, and what planet Yankees originally came from. A graduate of Christendom College, she has strong views on the liturgy, movies, Texan sports teams, the Final Fantasy franchise, and the proper way to cook pierogi.

In addition to blogging about those and other topics, she spends her time playing the organ, writing about space detectives, minding her husband, her Munchkin, and her Rascal, and searching for the perfect salsa.

Her first novel, Phoenix, the opening act of The Carter Files series, is a science fiction police procedural that earned her a finalist nod in the 2021 Realm Makers Debut Novel category. It will be re-released by Tuscany Bay Books soon and we will be publishing the rest of her series as well.
