About Me

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?
