Wanting to expand her skill set, Loriann pulled from her enjoyment of women's fiction and was inspired to create a novel series set in Maryland. She worked with other novelists while serving on the planning committee of a writer's conference in the state, attended the Nora Roberts Writer's Conference, the Mid-Atlantic Writer's Conference, PennWriter's Conference, and took online courses in romance writing and eBook development.
Creating the pen name of Lauren Monroe, she created The Maryland Shores series and joined the self-publishing movement to start growing in the fiction realm.
