Hi, and welcome to Letters by Lisa, I am a mother, wife, daughter, sister, grandmother, aunt, friend and writer. I love family, friends, children and animals, and I have a passion for writing. I have been writing all of my life, and I spend most of my days in a quiet little corner with my laptop and a good cup of coffee, doing what I love, and loving what I’m doing. I was born and raised in Indiana. I’m a recent graduate of the Institute of Children’s Literature. I'm a proud member of the SCBWI, as well as She Writes. I write fiction, nonfiction, and poetry, and I have found my niche in writing for children. I am currently living in Cairo, Egypt, where I have lived off and on for a total of twelve years, ten of which I taught kindergarten. The past twenty eight years have been dedicated to raising my four children, and now that they are grown, I am thrilled to embark on my journey of complete, and total dedication to my lifelong love and passion, writing. Sit back and relax for awhile, and join me in my little corner of the world.
Oh, I almost forgot just a few more things that I love:
