You've come to the right place to learn about me and some of the things I've written and published. I hope you'll come back often to check out my latest work. Now retired from fulfilling careers in teaching, public relations and marketing, I have become a full-time advocate for retirement and doing what feels good. "Do what you like, and like what you do" is my new motto.
I'm working on two novels and another non-fiction book about my impressions of southern life. When I need a change of pace, I contribute articles to Western North Carolina Woman and other publications. I'm a transplanted Appalachian woman, happy to identify as a new Southerner.
Watch for the November, 2011 release of my novel, FAMILY SECRETS: THREE GENERATIONS, a heart-warming story of the transformative love of a granddaughter and her grandmother. Reserve your signed copies by contacting me at LissaBrownWrites@gmail.com
Born and raised in New Jersey, I've been working my way south to my current home in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of NC. When I'm not writing I spend time hiking along refreshing mountain streams, snowshoeing on the ridges, or just pickin' awhile on my bluegrass banjo.
My log cabin is my Appalachian home and office. When I need a break from writing I enjoy watching my wildlife neighbors.
