Lori Weber: Hello, my name is Lori Weber. My full name is Lori Maria Ada Weber, but that's quite a mouthful. I have no idea why my parents chose the name Lori, but Maria was my paternal grandmother's name, and Ada was the name of my mother's grandmother. So I carry a lot of women's heritage in my name. Weber is a German name, and in German, the word means weaver, which I think is a fine name for a writer to have because after all, a writer is a weaver of words.
