I think that really gave me the confidence to keep writing. He sent in one of my poems one time to a contest without telling me, and it won an honorable mention. That gave me so much confidence. That he would take the extra time out of his day to do something like that, meant he really believed in me. I had some cool other influences along the way. My High School teacher, Mr. My teacher picked my story out of the whole class, for a young author’s conference, and I got to go spend the day with authors at a local college. I remember thinking back then, “I want to be a writer.” Kevin: Hi Lisa! Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to us about your incredible career, and your new book – “Gone.” When did you first realize that you wanted to become an author? Did you always have a passion for writing? Lisa: Since about 4th grade, I remember writing a story called “Baby May’s Birthday.” It’s my first book that I ever remember writing. I wrote it for an assignment for school.
