I am a Charlotte native and a self-published author who enjoys writing and traveling to as many places as I can. I have always loved to write, but about nine years ago, I got the extra, want to write. first, about myself in “Life as Lisa: The Skin I’m In… The Skin I Was Given” before doing any fiction novels- I just felt like I had a story to tell.
I am not a superstar, or a “known figure” by any means, but being gay in the world that we live in and knowing how to overcome the many adversities that the LGBTQ+ community faces daily, I felt- and feel that my story of situations that I overcame as I transitioned from a young, confused kid into a still confused, young adult into the now proud and confident adult that I am could be inspiring if to nothing more than just one person.
Also, I felt- and feel that if I can make at least one person less ignorant about the LGBTQ+ community, then I believe that I have served my purpose. My first book, again, “Life as Lisa: The Skin I’m In… The Skin I Was Given” which was released on March 4, 2017, is a feel-good book that depicts my life as a young girl who knew she was different at a very young age, who had to navigate the world and figure it all out on my own. I did not have an outlet to talk to about being gay, so at seven, yes, seven years of age, I went through the difficult struggle of understanding my feelings and attraction to females all by myself.
The book continues to travel through my young adult years- showing my struggles of admitting that I was gay and scared of what people would think about me, and, more importantly, embarrassed about what I thought about myself. The book then travels into my adult years, where I finally came to love and embrace my sexuality and couldn’t care less about what people thought about me, and still feel the same way to this day. So many years later, I finally realized that how I loved and who I loved was not wrong. This book is a roller coaster of sex, relationships, and situations that will make you laugh, make you mad, and make you want to love again and again.
After my first book, my passion for writing continued with the release of my second book, which was released on April 7, 2017, yes, only a month later! “What the Heart Wants”, which has done extremely well on Amazon and other platforms. My third book, “Mystic Encounters,” also became a hit after being released on September 12, 2017.
My fourth book, “Vanished in Plain Sight”, one of my favorites, was released on December 13, 2017- right in time for Christmas! My fifth book, “Net of Lies,” hit the stands on June 6, 2018, and has done very well! “Silent Noise”, my 6th work, has a very important message that I felt needed to be shared, and as my first novel, it is also a story about a personal journey.
What was supposed to be a new chapter with my company of over 11 years, instead, turned into a horrible experience of workplace abuse. This novel uncovers the decision I had to make to take a much-needed stand and use my voice over the company’s silence about the circumstances of what was happening behind closed doors.
Shortly after moving to Syracuse, NY, I would have to make a huge decision on what my relationship would be with this company going forward. Silent Noise hit the stands on January 26, 2019, and I am happy to say, it has also been a tremendous success!
My seventh addition, “Love at 30,000 Feet,” officially hit the stands on July 5, 2020, and as I hoped and predicted, after my first copy sold within hours of its release, it also did just as well as the others.
My eighth addition, “Fractured,” was released on August 23, 2022. This novel, unlike my others, made me dig deep into a genre I was unfamiliar with as far as my style of writing. This mystery novel will keep you guessing from the first page all the way until the last! As soon as you think you have it figured out, the puzzle only gets more confusing! I am happy that I challenged myself on this one because the rewards have been great!
Lastly, the newest addition to my growing collection, “The Woods Are Watching,” was released on April 21, 2025. This novel, unlike my normal romantic works, also made me dig deep into the exciting genre of mystery and thriller! This rollercoaster twister will keep your blood pumping until the very end, and the surprise that awaits you will make this reading all worth the emotions this book will put you through!
