Where the Loons Call

Welcome…

I’m Lisa, a writer, former teacher, grandmother, publisher, and lifelong collector of stories. Whether I’ve been living in Europe or spending summers on Little Bear Lake, I’ve learned that the best conversations begin with a warm cup of coffee and someone willing to share a story.

So pour yourself a cup, pull up a chair, and stay awhile. I’m so glad you’re here.
