Lisa grew up in Fort Dodge, Iowa then lived in the Madison,
Wisconsin area for 26 years where she worked in journalism, at a
bookstore, the Democratic Party and the state housing and
development authority. She returned to Iowa twelve years ago and
lives in Iowa City where she works for the University of Iowa. She
completed her first book, a memoir about getting sober, in 2022.
Lisa will read a couple passages from her book, take some time for Q & A and will be available to sign copies.
About the book:
Theft and infidelity disrupt the smooth
tranquility of a bookstore in Madison,
Wisconsin. As the staff adjusts to the
upheavals, they are rocked again when
one of them is found dead in the store.
Was it an accident? Foul play?
Detective John Meyer suspects the
latter and embarks on an investigation
like no other in his career. Everyone’s
a suspect but none of them are
criminals, throwing off the detective’s
finely tuned intuition. Recently
divorced, John is increasingly
unnerved by the details of the case,
which closely resemble the particulars
of his own marital breakup. Fighting
the urge to drown his frustrations in
alcohol, he turns to his former partner
Maggie and coroner buddy Monty.
