Welcome

Whether you’re here to find out more about me, my books, or just looking for a good (and mostly) YA science fiction or fantasy book recommendation, you’ve come to the right place.

Are you a writer searching for inspiration or writing tips?

Honestly, I don’t really give tips. I just write. But maybe you’ll find some inspiration on my blog (which you can subscribe to) or better yet, find me on Substack, where I’m actually writing these days.

Need something else? Contact me here.

If it ain't broke, Don't fix it

Want to know more about me?

Lorijo Metz lives with her husband and goldendoodle in a small town in Indiana. Though she has a degree in acting and directing, she much prefers the anonymity of the keyboard, allowing her characters to revel in the spotlight while she sits quietly sipping tea or coffee, nibbling on cookies, and dreaming up ways to complicate their lives.

She is the author of Floridius Bloom and the Planet of Gloom, a picture book illustrated by Matt Phelan and published by Dial Books for Young Readers, as well as 25 nonfiction, educational books for children, published by Powerkids Press. She wrote the lyrics for the title track on Owen Duggen’s children’s CD, Puppy Dog Jig, and has a self-published middle grade science fiction novel entitled WHEELS.
