Jordi Lou

Born and raised in Mississippi, Jordan Abitz is an Amazon Bestselling author whose debut small-town romance, The Magic of Light, was selected as a 2026 Kansas Notable Book. Her Southern roots, love of community, and belief in the power of hope and healing shine through every story she writes. Under the name Jordan Abitz, she crafts heartfelt contemporary romances filled with found family, emotional depth, and happily-ever-afters.

Writing as Jordi Lou, Jordan also creates picture books that explore themes of mental health, foster care, adoption, and kindness. A former foster mom who welcomed twenty-eight children into her home and an adoptive mom of three, she draws from real-life experiences to create stories that help children feel seen, understood, and empowered.

Jordan lives with her husband and three children on their third-generation family farm in the Flint Hills of rural Kansas, where small-town life continues to inspire her work. When she’s not writing, she enjoys exploring antique shops, wandering library stacks, advocating for children in foster care, and raising awareness about childhood trauma. She shares her farm with barn cats named after country music legends, including her favorite, Dolly Parton.

Whether writing romance or children's literature, Jordan's mission remains the same: to tell stories that inspire courage, compassion, connection, and hope.
