Jezebel should have been names Calamity. She just could not seem to catch a break--first the Metro train she was on collided with another--luckily someone helped her escape death--and as luck would have it she also met the man of her dreams--but then lost him! He found her--but----his ulterior motive was not in her best interests. Her friends kept trying to tell her--but would she listen--NO. Plenty of red flags which she decided to ignore---listen to your intuition people!!! Like me--she was a KLUTZ--forever tripping etc etc etc. Well, she found her dream man and it turned out to be a nightmare in the making--one that put her on another collision course with death.
There is a bit of comedy and I found myself laughing--and the next moment holding my breath--hoping all would turn out all right.
Her family and friends are delightful, as is she----now the bad people and there are a couple of those--well--I hope I never meet up with anyone like them!
But instead, it entangles Jezebel in the twisted lives of those determined to destroy each other. This prickly path also holds the potential of leading Jezebel to an unlikely place of joy. Finding joy seems impossible when life is literally exploding all around her.
LATE FOR FATE won Best First Chapter from WRITERS' TYPE
Available to buy from...
"Jones is a gifted author with a talent for sharp, fast-paced prose that keeps the pages turning. Late for Fate moves at a thrilling pace. It's studded with sharp-edged, witty dialogue and quirky characters that stuck with me long after reading. Jones' knack for creating stories that feel familiar but are unique in voice and plot make every read (including Late for Fate!) a great one."
~Kathleen Shoop, best-selling author of the Letter Series and After the Fog
"Ms. Jones has perfectly captured how one moment in time can change a life for both good and bad. Excellent story with well written characters and a terrific (sometimes terrifying) theme. A great read. Highly recommended." - Amazon Review
"Lori has shown an extremely deft touch. I enjoyed the entire reading experience in second attempt at authoring. I enjoyed the characters, the quick pacing, the brushes with fate, the witty banter and the slick manner in which Lori handles the alternating points of view."
- James J. Robinson,Jr.
"Scene-stealing Nicole had me laughing out loud. From the opener, I was hooked."
- Carolyn Menke

I have yet to meet my dream man!
I met my fiancé on an online dating website.
I meet my dream man at the Piggy Wiggy he smashed my bread and I had to go back into the store to exchange it for another loaf of bread and we now live happily ever after
I met my dream man at college...one day...and I didn't like him at all! Met him again a couple of years later in DC, and he became an awesome friend. And about 7 years later, we got married!
I have not met my dream man yet.
I'm yet to meet my dream man.
You won't believe me. It was a Singles dance on Dec.3.1997. He looked like a younger version of Raymond Burr ( Star of Perry Mason and Ironsides). I fell for him the moment I saw him.
I have yet to meet my dream man...all the ones I have met so far have been nightmares!
