Hi Katuro!
Lore is still around and well. Thanks for remembering him! He is one of my very favorite creations.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Lore, he’s my legit imaginary friend. Back in high school, when the panic attacks and self-destructive tendencies were going from bad to worse, he showed up in my sketchbook one day and from then on was sort of my conscience/guardian/voice in my head.
I may be crazy, but at least Lore is adorable… and, as he’s told me, a manifestation of my friends from all over the place. I was alone waaay too much of the time back then… and it helped me cope.
He’s also omnivorous and loves cat food. This, and many other interesting facts about Lore, are covered in the first novel I ever wrote – My Imaginary!
