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. I live in Kentucky and 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.
