    Lisa Roe

    Lisa Roe is the author of Welcome to the Neighborhood. After graduating from the Newhouse School of Communications at Syracuse University and spending many years as an advertising creative director and copywriter in New York City, she accepted the tougher job of stay-at-home mom and turned to writing fiction. A classic firstborn, a reluctant empty nester, and a Dr. Doolittle wannabe, she lives with her husband and three incorrigible dogs in New Jersey.
