Lisa has begun developmental editing work on her memoir Calamity Becomes Her with fabulous poet Jayne Benjulian, author of Five Sextillion Atoms.

Lisa is sitting on pins and needles, waiting to hear back from a spring residency in Brora, Scotland.

My bittersweet reunion with my love of Wyoming in Laramie, June 2018.

Lisa lives in Massachusetts with her husband Dennis, dog Sabrina and cat Charlie. She earned a B.A. from Regis College and an MBA from Babson College, and holds a Master certificate in Reiki. She rides horses, is an avid cyclist and loves hiking with her dog Sabrina.
