What’s next for you Lisa?
Next for me is book 3 in the Songbird trilogy, Songbird Freed. It’s due out in October/November so I need to concentrate on that first. After that there are a few projects lined up. I contributed to the Forbidden Fruit anthology, a novella called Duty of Care. I’d like to turn that into a full length novel. I also have another standalone idea that I’d love to write. After all that, an author friend and I have been kicking around an idea to co-write a novel, I’d love to do that with her too.
While Lisa Edward has called Melbourne Australia home for her entire life, she has lived and worked in England, and travelled through most parts of Europe and the United States. She loves nothing more than spending time with her husband and beautiful daughter, or curling up into the early hours of the morning with a great novel. By day, Lisa works in the analytical IT field, so relishes the opportunity to foster her creative side through writing. Her deep appreciation for literature was nurtured from a young age, being taught to respect books and get lost in their stories. She enjoys reading honest and realistic novels that are relatable, thought provoking and leave a lasting impression. She can’t write without music playing, using the emotions from different songs to invoke that of her characters. Lisa takes inspiration from her own life experiences, the people around her and those she has met in her travels.
