Author, Blogger, & Storyteller

Stories of lost keys, found courage, and the quiet adventures in between.

Maureen Lewicki writes stories shaped by wonder, reflection, and the small mysteries of everyday life. She is drawn to ideas the way someone might walk around a sculpture, looking at it from every angle until its meaning becomes clear. As a longtime teacher, homeschool mother, and storyteller, she brings warmth, patience, and quiet imagination to her work, whether she is crafting picture books for children or writing blog posts and devotionals rooted in faith, creativity, and the rhythms of daily life. Her love of the outdoors, especially time spent in the Adirondack Mountains, carries into her writing with that same sense of curiosity and quiet discovery.

“I write for my inner child, whose imagination is rich with fun and fear. I write to distract her, comfort her, and entertain her with scenarios she offers me. And when I get it right, my throat thickens and my heart thrills. And I hope someday others can read it too whose inner child might be a lot like mine.”

For Maureen, I Once Was Lost And Found is more than a title. It holds both the humor of lost keys and misplaced papers, and the deeper truth that loss, longing, and discovery often live side by side. Her writing grows out of that tension, whether in stories for young readers or reflections for adults, offering something gentle, thoughtful, and full of heart, with the hope that readers, whose inner child may be a lot like hers, will find something of themselves there too.
