Some authors collect stamps. Lisa collects cryptids and aliens.

Armed with a PhD in microbiology and a veterinary degree, she writes cozy horror and sci-fi romance set in haunted Southern towns and faraway galaxies. Her stories blend warmth, wonder, and just enough spooky charm to keep readers glancing over their shoulders.

Expect cryptids who aren't what they seem, alien warriors with soft hearts, cursed antiques, stubborn heroines, and antagonists who have no idea who they are dealing with. She believes every monster deserves a redemption arc and every reader deserves a little magic and romance.

Her collection, Monsters Under the Magnolias: Haints, Howls, and Hospitality in a Small Southern Town is currently a semi-finalist in the 2025 CIBAs Collections and Anthologies category, which she considers a tremendous honor. 

The shadows in her world have personality. The ghosts have manners. And the aliens are always dashing.
