Before A Piece of Orange was complete Lorna felt she had the title and content for book two – Every Then and Now. Her attention was caught by the miracle stories in the Gospels. In the Gospels we follow Jesus but don’t stop and consider what the miracles meant for the people receiving them. She felt she would stay behind and record what the impact of the miracle might have been. She wanted to consider what life was like for the woman with constant bleeding for 12 years. What was it like to wake up and not have to wash bedclothes and to be able to have the purification bath every other woman had monthly after her period? What would those whose condition meant their only option was to beg do now that their defining characteristic was no longer there and they had no reason to beg?
Again, she had the cover design in her head before even writing a line of the book, confirmed by the artist drawing the template for her who had a butterfly land on her window with a broken left wing and a whole right one – the design Lorna had asked her to draw.
Again, Lorna approached Instant Apostle to see if they would take on the publishing of the book and they graciously agreed to do so. Their front cover was taken again from Lorna’s friend’s drawing of her description for the design.
The printed book was in Lorna’s hands in July 2026 when she also went to Monkeynut Audiobooks and Sound (a Christian recording company who had recorded A Piece of Orange in audio form and the interview to go on this webpage) to record the audible version of, and an interview about, Every Then and Now.
