After society’s collapse, which is imagined in so many great dystopian stories, humans will either fade into history, with the dinosaurs, or, if it learns the right lessons, society will go on to construct a civilization to last tens of thousands of years. History Camp stories are the exciting adventures of young people doing the latter." -Lory Kaufman
On the artistic side of my career, I've written, acted and directed children’s theatre and musical theatre. I enjoy art, especially sculpture. I love science fiction and historical fiction and have been deeply involved in the green movement all across North America. I think all these thing show through when you read my work. I have three grown children and wor...more

The boys work making 'discs for the eyes', while Shamira is a kitchen girl. The historical detail is wonderful - the clothes, everyday living, the dece... " Read more of this review »

Lory Kaufman liked Donna's review of The Lens and the Looker: " Do you like books about the past? Books about time travel? You should love this book. A brief overview: Hansum, Lincoln, and Shamira are three kids from the 24th century who are what we would call 'problem children'. They don't pay attention in sch... " Read more of this review »
