Family comes first - always. (I'm Italian ;) Writing, reading, photography, gardening (weeds are hateful!), going out for sushi, laughing until my sides hurt, shootin' pool.
Müzik
Vey wide range of music tastes...Stevie Wonder, Beatles, Violent Femmes, Hip-Hop, oldies like Sinatra, Eartha Kitt, Nat King Cole; old school dance like Rick James, Heatwave, etc...
Filmler
Current fav is The Matador. Love Fargo, Holes, Chicago and Adaptation. Very eclectic taste in movies too.
Televizyon
hmmm...not much tv. I use it to wash my brain and will watch mindless shows like SuperNanny. We do love our America's Funniest Home Videos around here though! And Animal Planet too!
Kitaplar
The Legend of Zoey, Nothing But the Truth (and a few white lies), The Giver Trilogy (of course!), Looking for Alaska, Tuesdays With Morrie, Clifford the Big Red Dog, too many more to list......
Hakkımda: I'm a writer who enjoys a bit of sarcasm, sunny days and embarrassing my kids. (Look kids; Ma's on MySpace!) I have a blog on LJ, too. Visit me there at http://lisaalbert.livejournal.com/
July '07 Update: I just signed with a top-notch, fantastic agent at the Andrea Brown Literary Agency. I'm stoked! :)
I write books for children - picture books to young adult -and love when the words flow. I've interviewed several authors for articles and my most recent book project for Enslow Publishers. (Lois Lowry and Kate DiCamillo just to name-drop a couple. Gracious and talented women they are indeed!) My biography on Lois Lowry was be out in August 2007. I'm thrilled. My second book for Enslow, So You Want to Be a Film or TV an Actor? will be out in May 2008. I'm living the life I always dreamed of and striving to publish my fiction. I'm reaching my goals with my fantastic family cheering me on. What more can I ask for? (chocolate)

Thank you for adding me, too! And thanks for the congrats on the novel. Beth Fehlbaum, author Courage in Patience, a story of hope for those who have endured abuse http://courageinpatience. blogspot. com Chapter 1 is online!
Just wanted to say THANKS for your support with my first novel and let you know that my next book, GIRL OVERBOARD, just came out. I hope you like it as much as you did Nothing but the Truth (and a few white lies). Let me know. I really want to hear!
Ha! :) It was taken just because my brother insisted I take photos while I was in China. Studio photography is WAY cheaper there than here. They do your hair, makeup and everything! Hey, who knows--maybe one of them will be my author photo. :)
Thanks for the add. I hope you’ll check out my new tween novel, GIVING UP THE GHOST. It’s my dearest wish that my novel’s themes of fear, grief, and forgiveness, leavened with humor and gripped by a ghostly mystery, will bring comfort and healing to young teens living with uncertainty in unsettling times.
Hope we get to meet sometime, Lisa. I had such a great visit with Candie Moonshower in Nashville and she RAVED about you. Okay, back to work. Happy New Year!
