"Inspirational Humorist."
  -- The New York Times

A prolific and thought provoking writer, Lisa is a top-selling author and cutting edge columnist whose work appears in a wide variety publications across a large range of demographics.

Her inspirational stories have run everywhere from Glamour to Guideposts; her business commentary has been seen in The Wall Street Journal and The New York Times; her White Papers have been utilized by Fortune 500 companies like Kimberly-Clark and Amgen; and her weekly humor column is syndicated in daily papers across the country.

One of the few writers to successfully combine edgy humor and practical advice with an uplifting spirit, Lisa garnered national attention in 2001 when her first book, Forget Perfect™, (now in its 4th printing from Penguin/Putnam) sparked a grass roots revolution. Lisa stuck a chord with an overworked, exhausted, disillusioned generation when she wrote "We've put ourselves last on our own priority lists, and frankly, we deserve better." The first to spot the angst behind the do it all myth, Lisa's Forget Perfect ™ message became part of the cultural vernacular, a movement now firmly entrenched in mainstream America.

In her latest book, Finding Grace When You Can't Even Find Clean Underwear Lisa tackles big questions like "What is the meaning of life and why are other people so *#$%@! annoying?" A hilarious and insightful essay collection, Finding Grace has been featured on Oprah.com and prompted Grey Newspapers Publisher JK Murphy to proclaim, "She's a triple threat, funny, poignant and helpful."

Lisa's additional publishing credits include chapters in several top-selling collaborative books like - Don't Sweat the Small Stuff Stories, I Can't Believe I Get Paid To Do This, If Women Ruled the World and Southern Fried Farce.

A deft pop culture commentator, Lisa's weekly newspaper column runs in numerous metro dailies including The Buffalo News, The Chattanooga Times Free Press, Community Publisher's Inc, Southern Newspapers, Grey Newspapers (Atlanta) as well as numerous high traffic websites.

"Lisa is a witty and compassionate writer who aims for the funny bone, but always manages to touch the heart along the way."
