WELCOME ONE AND ALL.

I’m so glad you’re here. I identify as lesbian queer. She / her are my pronouns, and the only thing straight about me is my hair. I wear too many keys and drink tea like it’s a sport. Acting taught me how to write. I was in movies like Back to the Future I and II, Mr. Mom, and Friday the 13th, to name a few.

These days I’m writing about boys with apple red lips, kings that are queens, ghosts with secrets, and the physical incarnation of wind.

I believe fiction can recreate the world by unlocking doors that lead to creative freedom. Young adult readers are the best audience and demand the most from their stories. They are going to change the world.

Happy reading,
Lisa
