Lisa Shanahan lives in the past in Ithaca, New York, and Cambridge, Massachusetts, and in the present in Bloomington, Indiana, with her husband, Jim. While on a pilgrimage over the years, she passed mile markers at an all-girls prep school in Chattanooga (Tennessee), at Vanderbilt University, in publishing jobs in Boston and New York (tangentially), in a maternity ward, and in sundry picturesque towns in New England.
She writes for a life.
Read about her adventurous/wild side in My Naked Self (Baggage Optional), her fanciful side in Got Kicked Out of Our Airbnb! Wish You Were Here! (A Post Card from Cali), her sad side in A Dog’s Life (Warning: Ending Foretold), or her yummy mummy side in L.A.: A Mother/Daughter Story. Plus, more…
on Medium and The Huffington Post, where she’s a featured blogger.
Or, check out her mysterious, sleuthing side in her new novel, Murder Masterpiece, the second book in her Boston Publishing House Mystery Series and sequel to Murder by the Book.
Lisa is currently an MFA candidate in the Sewanee School of Letters at The University of the South.
