BOOK SYNOPSIS
Lexi
Reliving my past.
Confronting my mother.
Finding my family.
The summer before my senior year is a roller coaster of emotions, but I make it. I come out on the other side, stronger and ready to face my last year of San Francisco State University, when life takes another direction. The rock I’ve come to count on disappears emotionally and leaves me reeling. Will we find our way, or will I be lost and alone again?
Derek
Watching her pain.
Lifting her up.
Loving her strength.
The summer before my senior year is better than I could’ve imagined. Her strength knows no bounds and is truly inspiring to everyone around her. Then the phone call from my past comes and knocks me off my feet. Unable to look at her while dealing with this, I hide, like a coward. Will I get over this moment from my past, or will it drive a permanent wedge between us?

EXCERPT
“You don’t know how happy it makes me to leave here with no reason to look back. Knowing I left everything behind feels like I’ve lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders. I feel so much lighter, like I can breathe freely again. The clamp around my lungs is gone.”
In that moment, the joy on her face touches me in a way I can’t even explain, and I can’t help but pick her up and twirl her around, sharing in her excitement. I hope the expression on her face is here to stay. My stomach has been in knots for days wondering what she would have to deal with here, but this ending is more than I could’ve ever imagined.
AUTHOR BIO
Hi! I'm Lisa. I live in SUNNY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA with my wonderful husband and two teenage children. With two kids in high school and involved in activities both inside and outside of school, I have a lot to juggle. When home, I lock myself inside the office to write. I've always loved to write, but life always seemed to be too busy.
When inspiration finally hit, I made the most of the time hubby and kids were busy and published my first book in February 2014. I've published a total of 4 books in the past year and am hoping to bring you a few more before 2015 ends.

The Book: Loving Lexi
Who is your favorite hero of fiction?
The good guy. The one with the
heart. The same way I like them in real life.
What is your greatest fear?
Dying by drowning.
Who or what has been the greatest love of your life? Why,
How?
The
Greatest Love of my life has been my hubby. I met him a week before
my 17th birthday and went to school and told all my friends that I’d met
the man I was going to marry. He was 20 at the time. It
was only a few weeks before we started dating. The rough patch of
our relationship was early on when a friend’s sister was killed by a drunk
driver and I struggled with the fact that he was getting ready to turn 21 and
would be out with his friends drinking. I lived in a home with an
alcoholic and wasn’t interested in being around anyone
drinking. There were a few arguments and I was pretty sure he’d tell
me I was nuts and leave. But he didn’t. After we got
passed that, the rest was relatively easy. We’ve been together since
1993, married in 1998, have two kids, and are still very much in
love. He is a wonderful man, great husband, and fabulous
father. I am one of the lucky ones. (I think he’s pretty
lucky too)
Which book have you read the most in your lifetime?
Why?
Bridge to Terabithia was my favorite childhood book and I
read it over and over because I loved the story of the purity of
friendship. As a teen The Grapes of Wrath was a favorite and was
read many times after having to read it for Language Arts. I’ve
always been drawn to strong women characters and people who stand up for their
beliefs. I love the hope of reaching for your dreams. As
an adult, I have to say that Lacey Weatherford’s Chasing Nikki has had the most
profound impact on me however, I’ve only read it once. I’m not sure
I could do it again. I’ve never cried uglier than when reading that
book. I think the reason it resonates with me is that the characters
felt so real to me and since I work with that age group, the tragedy felt all
too real.
What quality do you most admire in a woman/man,
lover/spouse or influencer/boss?
I
don’t think these people share “the best qualities.” In a
boss/influencer, I think someone firm but fair is best. They need to
be objective and able to differentiate between personal and
business. As for just a regular man/woman, I guess it depends what
role they are playing in your life. As for lover/spouse, loyalty
would be something to admire since it seems to be hard to find. I
think loyalty leads into supportiveness and confidence. All together
they make a killer combo.
What does your family/friends think about your career as
a published author?
Honestly,
my family and friends have been a huge support. They talk to people
about my books, buy them, post about them, and generally encourage me in a
positive way.
Which book that you’ve written is your favorite?
Each
book is different to me and I love them all for different
reasons. My favorite to write was Project Lexi because it’s the
start of a big project and the characters spoke to me so clearly when
writing.
Do you have any interesting quirks or rituals?
Quirks??? Well, I hate the movie theater because all I
can focus on is the eating…digging through popcorn tubs, slurping drinks,
chewing with open mouths, opening candy. It seriously makes my skin
crawl.
How can readers connect with you online?
Can you tell us what is coming up next for you?
I am currently working on a novella for The Happy Endings
Resort Series that will release at the end of September. I’m hoping
to finish the Lexi Series with book 3 in the fall, and hoping to finish The
Finding Series. I have a couple of stand alone’s in progress, but
they are on the back burner while I finish these others.
