Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

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. She also enjoys singing in the worship team at her church and acting on stage. You can check out her blog and her author page at https://authorloranahoopes.org

She is also offering a free book https://mybookcave.com/d/0d26893d/

5.0 out of 5 stars Extraordinarily moving

This story, though short, was incredibly encouraging to me. It is worth the read, even if you haven't read The Producer's Unlikely Bride. The author's words in the last bit of the story capture the character of God in such a way I was moved to tears. That honestly doesn't happen to me often when reading fiction. I think because the story is based on a situation in the author's life, it makes it shine almost as though it is a testimony.

5.0 out of 5 stars Always trust God.

Even though this was a really short story, it left us all with a very important message. We never know what God has in store for us. I still remember a quote my Sunday school would repeat to us, when someone would question why's of God's actions and She would say this: "You may not know why, just know that it is" Meaning we may not not know right now why God chose to do what he did, but down the road it will make complete sense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good follow-up story

I am glad Lorana wrote this follow-up story to her Producer's unlikely bride. One day you can wake up to a difficult situation, health or people problems, that you don't know why or how to handle. This is a good example of a Godly solution to the situation. We should always be looking for the Godly way to handle life. It makes life much easier to face knowing God is by our side. He is always good!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Enjoyable Read
Reviewed in the United States on August 23, 2019
Reality in the fact that sometimes we just wake up not feeling well. Thankfully, Ava realized something wasn't right in time for it to be taken care of before it became even more serious. Sometimes things happen because we just need to slow down a little, it seems that God used this time to speak to Ava and gave her a message to share with someone else. I am so thankful that I can read Lorana's books and feel good about reading them.

I loved listening to this read by Lorana Hoopes on her YouTube channel. She shared that this was inspired by a real life experience. Ava learns so much from this and I love that she was willing to share with those she could reach. God really does use other people to help us learn.

5.0 out of 5 stars Always a great read from Lorana Hoopes
Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2019
Ava's Blessing in Disguise: A Blushing Brides Short Story, my eighteenth incredible read from wonderful Christian author Lorana Hoopes. The author’s Texas roots show as her books are set in The Lonestar State. This is another amazing Christian read, God's hand is apparent throughout the book, if there's a flaw in this book it's that it's too short, After having read The Cowboy’s Reality Bride (Blushing Brides #1) and The Reality Bride’s Baby (Blushing Brides #2) I wanted to read more Blushing Brides series. I don't do spoilers though so you'll have to read it and find out for yourself! I was given an Audible copy of this book & am voluntarily reviewing. Lorana Hoopes’s talented self-narration & Texas accent/drawl adds to the well-written book's enjoyment as no one knows her characters like the creator. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

4.0 out of 5 stars Hidden blessings
Reviewed in the United States on October 27, 2019
Ava’s story was an interesting one. I have to say I believe sometimes we go through things to help us learn and to be able to help others. So I don’t disagree with the story. But I don’t like my books to be as preachy. To me this short story was not so much about telling a story but giving a lesson about God. Which for the right audience would have been perfect but just not my favorite type of book.
