I am a fervent fan of honor, loyalty, and chivalry. I strive to bring to life worlds where men and women stand shoulder to shoulder, steady in their desire to make the world a better place for all. Most of my profits are donated to support battered women's shelters.
My works are all cleanly written with no explicit intimacy, mild if any violence, and mild if any language. They are suitable for teens and up. The content varies by series. For example, the sword-wielding medieval romances have heroines who occasionally ward off a robber. While it's gently described, that might be called "violence." On the other hand, the Black Cat cozy mysteries have no violence at all.
I have written a wide range of fiction stories. I have medieval romances, modern murder mystery novels, sci-fi adventures, Scottish regency time travel romances, dystopian stories, 1800s-era black-Indian novellas, Blackstone Valley mysteries, a mystery series set in Salem, Massachusetts, a romantic time travel series, a Biblical-era series, a zoo cozy mystery series, an art museum mystery series, a paranormal series, a mythology series, sci-fi stories, and a few standalone contemporary shorts.
On the non-fiction side, I have written books on low carb recipes, relationships, green living, journaling, ASP programming, sleep and dreams, wine, wedding and courtship traditions, Melville poetry, history, working from home, reducing stress, yoga, meditation, twitter, cyanotypes, Holgas, improving memory, parakeets, handling poison ivy, lighthouses, and conquering a fear of spiders.
I have over 500 pages online to help aspiring authors learn how to develop time management, write that book, lay it out, and get it published. Visit LisaShea.com for all the details, and free to email with questions! You can also FB me, tweet me, WattPad me, or heck, sent me mental signals through the ether :).
