Biography

Lisa has worked in the wine industry for 20 years, the most recent eight in education with the Society of Wine Educators and the French Wine Society. In these roles, she has authored and/or edited wine study manuals and developed or expanded certification programs for the wine trade. In her free-time, she writes fiction...naturally, with a glass of wine at the elbow. She is a Maryland Master Gardener and puts that training into practice in her sizable vegetable garden. To assist her, she has recruited the services of a very helpful staff: two Chinese geese, two mini-Rex rabbits and 2,000 red wigglers (worms)…all of which are “master composters”. An adopted feral cat guards the perimeters and keeps the groundhogs at bay. She resides in Monkton, Maryland. Her debut paranormal romance, "Touching the Moon", was published by Aakenbaaken & Kent (NY) in December 2012.

Inspiration

When I was nine years old, my family moved to a very rural farming community. I spent my summer breaks reading as there was little else to do besides catching tadpoles and popping tar bubbles on the country road with my bare feet. I became hooked on words...and then blank paper and pens with black ink.
