LISA BINGHAM

Lisa Bingham is a self-described write-aholic. If she had her way, she would spend most of her day spinning stories. But reality often intrudes in the form of ninth-grade English students, a rambunctious toddler, an adoring husband, and an ornery tabby cat.

Her life is busy - sometimes crazy - but she is also dedicated to the pursuit of power shopping (when funds permit) and finding the perfect piece of chocolate. She is eternally grateful to her critique group for their technical advice and support and those retreats with the girls that help to keep her sane.

Lisa is the youngest of three children and began writing in her teens. Her first book was published while she was in her mid-20s and single. She credits her critique group with finding her husband - and consequently approving of their marriage.

Two years ago, she and her husband adopted their first child and she spends her days in pure bliss as a mommy. Nevertheless, once naptime arrives, Lisa loves to while away the precious hours at the computer, writing about the love and laughter that every woman deserves in her life.
