About Lisa in 10 Sentences
I have worked in tech and I have humanities degrees (bachelor’s in English Lit and two master’s degrees (one in library science)). I can translate geek to human and back again. I like Doctor Who, Guinness, and Jane Austen in equal amounts. I watch a lot of period television shows and superhero movies. I have an irrational fear of riding on motorcycles. My biggest writing pet peeve is the lack of use of the Oxford Comma. Despite how many times I’ve tried bourbon (or whisky or scotch), I find it to be the devil’s drink. I’ve kept a blog for over 20 years. I do not live in Brooklyn nor have I attended a fancy college. You can find me as @heronineinabook across the internet.
