Lisa BoatmanHi! I'm Lisa! I grew up in a small town in Minnesota, and it was a fun childhood. When I was ten, my family moved to northern Virginia, which was a big change! After grad school, I wanted something different, so I moved to northwestern Mississippi. Istarted dealing cards and craps at a casino and owned a liquor store in Hernando for 13 years. Later, I returned to Minnesota and became a firefighter for Columbia Heights Fire. In 2022, I decided to switch things up again and moved to sunny Lisbon, Portugal! Now I'm living the dream as an English teacher and a writer. Writing has always ignited something in me. An idea sparks a rush, and the words begin to flow onto the page. Sometimes I will plunge so deep into a world that I don't need to eat or sleep! Many of my short stories have been created this way, and there is a desire to shape them into novels someday. But what I truly love about writing is crafting narratives that plunk the reader right into the scene. Can you sense the ambiance and feel the vibe? Those vivid details and raw emotions help readers truly understand the story.Let's connect! You can find me on my website at LisaBoatman.com, on Instagram at Official_Lisa_Boatman, or on Facebook.
