An "Air Force Brat", she lived in several states, as well as the Philippines, giving her the chance to observe a variety of people and ways of life. These experiences provided a valuable foundation for her writing. The sciences have always held a fascination for her, as evidenced by her "day jobs" as a veterinary technician, clinical laboratory assistant, and environmental chemist. She draws on her science background in her writing and readily admits to a love of science thrillers, bad sci-fi films and B-movie monsters.
Relatively settled now, Lisa lives in the Pacific Northwest with her husband, Ron, who is also an author, and a variable number of cats.view less
