Lorana Hoopes is the USA Today best-selling author of over forty books and counting. She's originally from Texas which shows as most of her books are set in the great state. As the saying goes, "You can take the girl out of Texas, but you can't take Texas out of the girl."

Lorana began writing at an early age, but it wasn't until a few years ago that she began publishing. Now, it seems she can't get the stories out fast enough. In addition to writing, she also records and produces her own audiobooks as well as audiobooks for other clean authors. Her background in theater and as a radio DJ certainly help in that area.

Though she hopes to retire soon and write full time, Lorana is still a part-time English teacher as well as a full-time mom. She has three children who are the characters in her Wishing Stone early reader chapter books and voice their parts in the audiobooks 2-5.

When not writing, Lorana can generally be found in her kickboxing gym. You can follow her on Instagram @authorloranahoopes to see her motivational posts.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful Christian Story about Current Issues
    Reviewed in the United States on January 10, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    Once Upon a Star is about current issues. A young mother, Audrey, ends up a single parent when the father walks away and wants nothing to do with raising a child. Feeling stuck she decides to move back home and accept the terms of getting help. She is forced to work for her father and is given an apartment.

    The main characters are well developed and storyline had me engaged from the beginning. There is a lot of tension and lessons learned through faith in God. Very heartwarming and emotional story with a nice wrap-up to the ending.

    Audrey, an out of work single mom, returns to her hometown with her baby, hoping to get help from her parents. She is given a job at her father's company and her sister cares for her baby. Blake also works for Audrey's father. As the two become closer several problems - one really severe - disturb the whole family. There are twists and turns in the book that made me sort of hold my breath, but all is good in the end. Don't you just love a happy ending?

    5.0 out of 5 stars Can God change impossible people? ? ?
    Reviewed in the United States on April 16, 2018
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    I probably received this through BookBub. Like all of Mrs. Hoopes novels, it is inspirational and shows Gods ability to work impossible situations out to a satisfactory end. After an unplanned pregnancy and no longer being able to find a job in Hollywood, she returns home -- goes to work for her father and attends a monthly command attendance at a family meal. She meets Blake and (one of her father's employees) and her parents disapprove of him because he's a common laborer. But God has a way of working things out. Read and see.what happens, you won't want to put it down, at least I didn't.

    I enjoyed this short story. Audrey needs someone like Blake to help her through this transitioning period. Her mother and father, although they help her with money, are not compassionate people and think now that Audrey is back, they can run her life. Blake is everything Audrey needs and more, and he does not disappoint.

    What a feel good novel! I liked that Audrey returned how from LA when shed had no money and a baby. Her ex- boyfriend left when she as five months pregnant. Although she saw no other way out she hoped that her domineering mother was why she left in the first place would help out. I loved that this time Blake would never left Audrey leave as he'd had a crush on her throughout high school and he needed a chance to left her see that he was the real deal

    3.0 out of 5 stars Christmas story
    Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2017
    Format: Kindle
    When Audrey couldn’t get any more roles in Hollywood after having a baby, she moved back to her hometown. Her mother was cold and said that she would give her one month’s rent, but she would have to work for her father. At work, she meets Blake who had a crush on Audrey in high school. She didn’t recognize him at first since he has filled out. When she invites him to dinner, she discovers that he is a Christian. She wants to learn about it and it changes her life. Unrealistically, her parents change by one visit with their grandson when the baby’s father shows up threatening to take Audrey and the baby back to Hollywood. Good but not realistic.
