Hello there! I’m Lisa, a British indie author who loves to write comic romances. As a life-long lover of reading, I know how much joy a good book can bring, and I believe romantic comedies can be well-written and thought-provoking, as well as fun. So in my own books, I try to offer great stories, vivid characters and a few smiles! Here on my site I share insights into my work, my approach to writing, my inspiration and favourite reads. Check out my blog for my latest updates and see The Art Trip page for a taste of my novel. Thank you for visiting!
About Me

I first began to write in my late twenties as an escape from the pressures of my work in marketing, but writing soon became a passion, then an obsession, and I wrote all sorts of things! It was a couple of years ago, in a feverish, flu-like state that I wrote the first paragraph of what would become The Art Trip, and so stumbled across my love of comic writing. When I’m not writing or reading, I enjoy art, history, food and the countryside, themes which often crop up in my work.
What’s Next?

Having published The Art Trip in 2019, I’m now working on my second novel. Of course, it’s another romantic comedy which I hope will be warm, uplifting and funny! I won’t give too much away, but it’s set in contemporary London and draws loosely on some of my experiences living there. There’ll be another pair of lovably imperfect lead characters, and naturally, at least a cameo role for a cat! The draft is still slowly taking shape on my old writing slope but watch this space for more news!
Blog
