The month of August 2018, Lisa took advantage of a month-long writer’s residency at Fairhope Center for the Writing Arts at Wolff Cottage in Fairhope, Alabama, based on the merit of her published work and her book-length work-in-process depicting a summer she spent in Cody, Wyoming “wrestling the locals to win ranchin’ chores only done properly by a man.”

She is applying to spring 2019 residencies, two in Wyoming, and one 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 at Rhapsody Hill Farm in Upton, MA, is an avid cyclist and loves hiking with her dog Sabrina.
