Five Facts about Lisa Suzanne – the person
1. I have been married for eight years. We don’t have any
kids but we do have a yellow lab named Sadie. (She’s the best dog ever.)
2. I love being creative. I scrapbook, I make jewelry,
and I write romance novels. (The scrapbooking and the jewelry have been on hold
since I published book 1, though.)
3. I have dark blonde hair and blue eyes, and I’m 5’8”
tall. I live in Arizona but I grew up in Illinois.
4. I have taught high school English for twelve years
(which is why my books are published under a pen name).
5. My favorite TV show is New Girl, my favorite movie is
The Hangover, my favorite book is Fifty Shades of Grey, my favorite color is
orange, and I have two favorite bands: Maroon 5 and Matchbox Twenty (I can’t
pick just one).
Five Facts about Lisa Suzanne – the author
1. I started really enjoying writing when I was in high
school. I never thought anybody would read my books because I was always too
shy to share them with anybody. I kept writing anyway because I enjoyed it, but
it felt like such a waste of time – I would spend three or more hours a day
after work just writing. I never shared my writing with anybody, and then one
day I decided to share it with my husband. He’s the one who convinced me to try
self-publishing.
2. All of my books are around 90,000 words before I start
editing. I don’t know how, but this has happened at least four times (and this
also means that I have at least two books completely written and currently
unedited/unpublished).
3. I wrote WHAT HE REALLY FEELS in under a month this
past summer (from about June 24-July 20). I’m working on Book 3 in the He Feels
trilogy now, but it’s not going as fast (probably because I’m back to work… or
maybe because I’m having a hard time concluding the stories of Jules, Nick, and
Trav!).
4. Only five people in my life know my pen name (my
husband, my mom, my brother, my sister-in-law, and my best friend). I kept it a
secret initially because I was really shy to share my work, but I now it’s
because I teach in a super conservative district. If I sell about sixty books a
day, I can quit my day job and write full time.
5. I set up a Facebook account under my pen name so I
could create my Author Lisa Suzanne page, and I only have three friends on my
account – all are people I’ve met through the amazing world of self-publishing.
Feel free to friend me – Lisa Suzanne. :)
I hope you sell 600 books a day. I hope you get to use your real name some day, if you want to. I think it is brave to follow your dreams and love to see when someone does it.
